New Features
Search Filtering
As our next step to improve the search experience Amundsen now provides a filtering user interface. This feature currently deprecates advanced search syntax, which previously limited users to only being able to filter by one category and one value at a time. This release only contains support fo ElasticSearch users.
With the new search filtering UI:
- Your application users should no longer use advanced search syntax -- instead they provide key terms in the search bar and refine with filters and wildcard search (*) can still be used.
- Your application users are not required to enter a search term -- they can navigate directly to the search view by clicking "Advanced Search >" where you can execute searches using only filters if desired.
- Checkboxes support filtering for multiple values within that category.
- Input boxes only support one value per category and wildcard search (*) can be used.
Requirements: amundsensearchlibrary >= 2.1.0
