Description

Currently, the comment on a page is only shown if one is on the current page.

Solutions:

  • Toggle button to show all or only on the current page
  • Infinite scroll where the comments on the current page are shown. See how Acrobat Reader solves that issue when infinite scroll is enabled @koppor

Search for empty string should display all entries dependent on "show all" toggle button: If "all": show all, if "current page": show all entries of current page.

Research direction

Start by tracing the comment list and the existing toggle between current-page and all comments. Check how an empty-string search applies the selected scope. Done means comments can load progressively while preserving the current-page behavior, and the search results follow the toggle selection.
