Suggestion for Assets Search

Hi,

It would be great that a search within assets would allow you to search for partial filenames. (Maybe allow the use of wildcards? )

For example if there is a file whose name is "TestProject 123456" Searching for "Test" or "Project" or "2345" would find this file.

I think we're currently matching on word boundaries, so it actually sounds like we need to be more simplistic rather than more sophisticated. Thanks.

Hi Drew, I thoroughly support Danny's suggestion. With a large number of assets it is tedious to keep remembering the exact file names. Is there a way of putting a partial file name into the Filter function perhaps? Thanks, Henry Gardner

There are Assets improvements on the list as part of the 2.9 series. I don't think they'll be in the first release (as there are a number of things we want to tackle and so it makes sense to do an Assets focussed release).

Rachel - awesome! I'm super excited for an update on that app. We use it a ton and it's usability is key for quick content building. Link me to a forum if you'd like to see a wish list. Might be helpful?

When there is an update it will be posted in the News as usual on release. We never pre-announce dates for features.
