[pve-devel] Usability: quick access to cluster-wide search

[Stanislav German-Evtushenko]

Hello,

I consider myself quite typical user and here is a way I use Proxmox 90% of
the time:
- I do search some VM and open console
- I do search some VM and change some settings
- I do search some VM and check stats for this VM
- I do search some VM and check logs for this VM
- I do search some VM and ...

The best way to search a VM is to use cluster wide search. In most cases I
need to go through the following steps for this:
1) go to Datacenter
2) click on "Search" tab
3) click at Search field
4) type to search

In my opinion quick access to this field would impove user experience
dramatically. This can be:
- shortcut or/and button to access this field quckly
or
- global search field which is always visible whatever current view is
or
- other ideas?

What do you think?

Best regards,
Stanislav German-Evtushenko
