Major Search overhaul!
#1
Trying to start the discussion going to improve the search functionality. Especially with a large media library.

First of all I believe that Google is a good model to use for this. It's providing search results across various different types of content and presenting them in a meaningful way as dictated by many years of refinement.

Google Instant Search

And combine this with

Ronie's GlobalSearch Script

We can discuss implementation details later, but I think we somehow need to provide the underlying architecture to surface these results 'real time' from the local DB. Can any of the devs comment on what's needed here?

The latest smart filtering has gone some way to helping this already.

Yeah I have - it's not bad but well, the 2 features I listed aren't there, and they would be such major improvements...
