Wasted space in search results

Post by Timur Born »

Hello.

How can I remove this "sheet" icon from search results?

Hi Timur - can you please provide a little more context about where you are seeing this sheet icon, and which feature you are using for the search?

Many thanks,

I see the sheet icon in front of every single advanced search result line, regardless of what options I try. It seemingly is meant to indicate a search hit on a text page and can also show bookmark (and likely other) icons instead.

It wastes a lot of space due to:

- showing in front of every single page text result, even though this is rather granted as long as no other result/icon is shown.
Image

- using an expansion arrow even while searching in single active documents only and unnecessarily using too much space for indentation.
Image

- being vertically centered to the search hit preview instead of being placed in the first line.

Here is what it could look like instead, wasting far less free screen estate:

Hello Timur Born,

Thanks for the suggestion! I have passed it along to the UI team leader for consideration.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello, Timur Born

Yes, at the time the Dev team does not plan to remove these sheet icons, or offer a control for it.

Kind regards,
