Pinned (and collapsible) search queries to customize Vault view

I do think it would be really helpful if the search capabilities were enhanced as follows:

  1. Add the ability to pin search queries image so that we can have many saved/visible for quick, easy access.
    2.Be able to collapse/expand image both our own search results and the automatic system ones, saving state when the vault is closed.

  2. To the advanced search, add sorting options (last used, alphabetical, etc.).

  3. When something in is in the search bar, the “All Items” name is not really appropriate because only some of the items are being displayed. Perhaps instead display the search string.

Here is a mockup of how the vault page could look.

Note: collapse all items and favorites implemented in 2025.1.1

I think this is a really interesting proposal, but as its original title was somewhat vague (“Vault Search Results”), it may not have been getting the attention it deserves. I have now changed the topic title to be more descriptive (“Pinned (and collapsible) search queries to customize Vault view”). Feel free to further revise my modified title if you can come up with something more apropos.

Yes that really is a very promising idea. But shoul be combined with kinda tabs for pinned search. Oftherwise every search would take space for the title with dropdown.

I’d love to see addition of saved search.
In my view, such feature is far superior to folders or tags as items don’t need to be manually added to them.

I understand we already have access to the full power of Lunr search queries, but it would be nice to have the ability to save those search in order to reuse them.

In fact I could make great use of a saved search like “Mike” for instance; not that it is a complex query, but the magic is I don’t even have to think of adding items to it.

Want to have a quick access to all items you own and haven’t shared?

@maclm I merged your “older” Feature Request (FR) with this “new” Feature Request to the same topic. As the first post in this FR references the new browser extension and includes a few more suggestions, I put your post at the end of this FR (anti-chronological…).

@gtran, in another post, you mentioned improvements to table spacing, sorting, and filtering.

I wanted to bring this FR to your attention which includes much of this, with the addition of the ability to pin search results.

I have a sense that these developments will be for the Web Vault and perhaps the Desktop app, and not so much the browser extension. But maybe I’m wrong about that…

I too am scratching my head about the target of development, but since “autofill” is one of the poll topics, I am suspecting it would extend to the extension.

I do note he staff notice at the very top of the topic says “Sorting functionality will be coming first to the web vault, and then exploring other platforms.”. So yes, the web vault may be first (as is typical) but it does not appear that it will be the only development target.
