Hide empty category headings on search

JustinThomason · November 17th, 2015, 08:19 AM

I have a suggestion I would like to make about the search function to filter down the left hand topics column. Would it be possible to hide the names of any categories that don't have search hits? I like having the granularity of all the individual categories shown when I am building topics, but the other day I was trying to find a specific individual, and after running a search, I still had to visually slog through all the category names to try to spot the specific topic. If the only category name shown was the one that held the topic, it would have been quick and easy.

Thanks for considering.

You can already do that. From the options button next to the search field (hotkey = F6), select "empty group visibility" and then "Hide When Filter Active"
