I'm using sidebar. Don't know about the rest Ok, but if you don't give it thought you are significantly reducing the chances of your suggestion being accepted, since you're not arguing in favor of a whole solution, while the current state of affairs is consistent among all loci of search. > 2. I think it may be a different mode of searching that you may choose in > options. So if you want - it will only display exact matches, and if you > want - it will search less rigidly and look for similarities So, you're suggesting that if someone wants to search for a phrase, they will either have to know they need to go to Tools > Options, figure out the tab in which to find the option, and set it; or what is rather likely - they will assume it is not possible, and have to manually inspect the much larger set of search results for the individual words? I don't know, that's not very appealing... But how about this: We add a toggle in the search settings dialog for the Quick Find bar, with the choice between "entire phrase" and "all words" (and we can bikeshed the labeling and whether it's a checkbox or a two-option radio group.) > I don't know what would be the best way of coding it, however, perhaps it > would be okay for the app to scan individual pages, and if those pages > contain the fragments that are being searched - then the search engine shows > that pages The implementation is not our problem - luckily. If the UX suggestion is legitimate, and it's not patently impossible to implement, then - it's up to the developers. By the way - I don't believe this has anything to do with AI, it's a perfectly valid suggestion on its own.
