Catalog Filter - add quick filter

Post by wagbamem »

A quick filter in the Catalog filter panel would be great when having a lot of categories so less scrolling needed.
Thank you.

A special login just to add my +1.

Indeed, the Quick filter's absence from the Catalog Filter has always baffled me, as it is already capable, at least partially, of searching the catalog.

I would add that if implemented in the Catalog Filter, the Quick filter should be able to filter to any of the former's aspects: categories, yes, but also ratings, color labels, properties, bref, all the Catalog Filter offers.

Good idea.

Yes, and sub-nodes.

Also, based on KLE-France's idea, ability to select main nodes, in which the search(filter) will be.
Something like this maybe? When the little magnifiyng glass popup is open:
