Space Console Keyword Search

Please enhance the keyword search so that users can quickly isolate assets that they know the code for without having to use the Advanced Search option. Advanced Search does provide this capability but adds multiple additional clicks and diminishes the user experience.

Proposed enhancement:

1. Consider adding the use of double quotes and a wildcard character so that the user can isolate specific assets. For example: If I search for ab, the search returns every building and floor in which the string ab exists in the Site, Building, Floor, Division, Department, Room Category. But if I am just trying to get the list of floors for the Building AB, there can be many results to scroll through. A simple solution would be to search for “AB” which would only be an exact match for the building code.
2. A second enhancement could be to add specific search string logic to the quick search that would give the user much more flexibility and speed.

Search string examples could include:
a. Building=”AB”
b. Category=”Office”
c. Department=”Admin”
d. Building=”AB”, Department like “%Admin%”

To simplify the selection of the search string options, the AJAX text suggestions could automatically start populating the search string options. For example:
1. The end user could start typing “Depart…”
2. The AJAX results would give the user the options:
a. Department=
b. Department like
c. Department includes
d. Department excludes
