Description

Detailed Description

Currently the search box on the service marketplace enables only searching by service name. As the marketplace grows, it becomes useful to be search in other catalog fields such as:

  • service fields: tags, short description, long description, provider display name
  • service plan fields: service plan metadata.bullets, service plan display name

Context

As the marketplace grows with a large number of services, searching by name is too limited, and matching services against some other fields becomes useful.

Possible Implementation

Enable search on all fields by default, and then offer users to search on specific fields either using a well known search syntax (see related #2956 ) or a dedicated search panel (possibly get some inspiration from github search https://help.github.com/articles/about-searching-on-github/#searching-using-a-visual-interface )

Research direction

Start with the service marketplace search box and review how service names are currently matched. Compare the proposed field coverage with related issue #2956 and the linked GitHub search reference. Done means marketplace searches can match the listed service and service-plan fields, with any specific-field search approach agreed and supported.
