Search Behaviour (ISLG & ILG)

Hi Naomi ,

Thank you for putting this document together. It will be a useful tool for getting a comprehensive look at all the searches across the system. We should probably do something similar on the subscribers sides as well. 

It makes sense to keep things consistent across both applications, and searching only upon hitting 'enter' or the search icon is fine with me. How do you suggest we implement this?

Also, at what point should we bring Contegra into the discussion to help with the performance of the searches. I think they can bring a lot of value to the table, particular for searches that are going to be relying on dtSearch.
 
Thanks,

Morgan 

Hi Morgan

Thanks for your feedback. We will create a card in Target Process to address the updates to the necessary search fields.

In terms of Contegra's input on search do you foresee this being more to do with design, implementation or both? We can document the subscriber side searches along with the desired behaviour as it has been designed and share that. We are happy to discuss this with Contegra at any time but will need Ketan 's input around where this falls in development.

Hi Melissa ,

Yes, documenting the searches as you've suggested sounds great. Assuming Ketan , believes this is the appropriate time, I suggest inviting Rob Wiesenberg to the next Thursday call to discuss how we'll integrate their work into the projects.

Ketan , to give you some context, Rob and his team are specialists in optimizing searches, and they assisted us in perform an audit of all our subscriber searches last August: Tologix ISLG - App Audit Review - 2019-08-31.pdf - TOLOGIX - Contegra Search Audit. They found a number of issues in the way searches were being indexed with dtSearch that were affecting search performance, and we had planned to get them involved in assisting us in building the indexes for the new ISLG and ILG. We had been waiting to get them involved until the design requirements and database structures are completed. Now that we have nearly completed the admin sites and the designs for the subscriber sites, I believe we are now at that point.  Could you please confirm whether we have reached that point, or if further work is required before we get them involved.

Thanks,

Morgan

Hi Morgan ,

I am reviewing this requirement of search functionality in Subscriber site. What I would prefer is let us first define scope of this feature from our side and then we can discuss internally first and check if any challenges there with Melissa  ,  Savannah  and along with team at our end. Then we can come up with scope of Search Functionality for Rob & his team to discuss further. Let me know your view on this flaw.

Thanks,
Ketan

Ok. Ketan . That's fine with me. I just want to ensure all searches on the Subscriber sites perform at the highest level, and I think Rob and his team can assist with that. The idea would be to lighten the load a bit on your team by assigning the indexing work to Contegra, but I don't want to do anything that would disrupt us from meeting our deadlines.

Thanks,

Morgan

Hi Ketan ,

Note that I have added this item to tomorrow's agenda under ISLG Rebuild Project: Issues to be discussed. Please provide any relevant updates.

Thanks,

Thanks Melissa . I'll give this a review, and let you know if I have any questions.
