Description

Tech proposal:

  • embed in Search of app navigation (LeftSidebar)
  • use the same UnifiedSearch endpoint as in RightSidebar > search (but not in current convo)
  • opt-in and disabled by default
  • controlled with filter chips
  • limit to 5-10 items, allow to fetch with offset ('Show more' action)
  • different debounce that has longer interval (Unified search performance)

See linked PR for additional discussion and progress
