After revamping the palettes section, the palette search does not recognize palette names as a possible results for search queries.

Example: Search for, e.g. "dynamic" in the palette search box.

What should happen:
The search should return the Dynamics palette in addition to fitting individual palette elements, so all the different dynamics would show up for quick access.

What currently happens:
The search returns "Dynamic + hairpin" element from the Lines palette and is the only result.

The old behaviour in this regard was more intuitive ("what should happen" part of this report) and I feel this is a regression issue.


Comments

I agree that this is a big problem. We are working on a more comprehensive search feature to fix this (and other) issues.

I do wonder if we can't simply include palette names when returning results for now?

It's been discussed in the past, and I think one implementation may have actually done that? I recall there being reasons why it might not necessarily be a good idea, but I don't remember what those reasons were.
