Search in every sidebar section (Docs, Clips, Teams, AI) + one search across all of them
Georgi Pepelyankov
PROBLEM
Search/filter is available in some sidebar sections but not all. Docs, Clips, Teams and AI have no inline search, so finding a specific doc, clip, team or AI chat means scrolling, opening the full page, or launching global search and filtering it down. In a large workspace that is slow and breaks flow.
REQUEST
- Search in every sidebar section: a consistent search/filter field in Docs, Clips, Teams, AI, and every other section (Spaces, Chat, Favorites, and any future section). Same placement and behaviour everywhere, filtering as you type.
- One sidebar search across all sections: a single search box at the top of the sidebar that searches Docs, Clips, Teams, AI chats, Spaces/Lists and Chat at once, with results grouped by section and quick filter chips to narrow to one section.
- Keyboard-first: a shortcut to focus sidebar search, arrow keys + Enter to open a result, Esc to clear.
- Respect permissions and show recent items when the box is empty.
WHY
- Consistency: users shouldn't have to learn which sections are searchable.
- Speed: a lightweight, in-context search beats opening the global search modal for quick navigation.
- Scale: the more docs, clips and AI chats a workspace accumulates, the less usable the sidebar becomes without search.
This would make the sidebar a real navigation hub rather than a list you scroll through.
