Add entity type you want search results for in Global Search (newUI)

How: Insert a dropdown at the very beginning (similar to the advanced search at the end) where you can select the entity type you wish to receive search results for.

Why: Quicker than doing a query and very useful in combination with the workspaces in the table view editor

For Who: Any user

Impact: Timesaver, less unwanted search results

Additional context: The thing I often run into is that the search result from the standard search throws search results in maybe 4-6 entity types. When I then open the table view editor, my stored workspaces don't show up because I have 4-6 different entities in the table view and thus my workspaces created just for Item or Product don't show up.

Having the option to just do a quick search / global search with a single entity as output would also solve that issue.

Example as how it shows for us in SalesForce, as example: see attached.

By default it just searches for all entity types.


Please, add your suggestion and feedback above to add to the insights used by Product team when deciding priorities and direction of the Inriver PIM.
