Implement sharelink to search results

rampraa opened this issue · 2 comments

In the current implementation, performing a search keeps the URL in the browser address bar static. So there is no way to share search results with another user. Requesting a way that updates the browser URL when a search is done, so that the entire search result can be sent over to another user. This is also useful if a bunch of registers following a certain pattern needs to be added to any documentation - this will allow users to add a single link with the search param instead of adding URL for each matching register.

Thanks for filing this.
Currently the search page is actually an overlay over the existing page, so constantly changing the URL as you type in a query would be a little awkward.

Instead, what if I add a "share results" button?
Similar to the heading anchor links in the main content pages, clicking it would transform the browser navigation bar's URL to include the search query.

I see the issue with constantly changing URL since the search is an incremental search. Share results is a good solution to this. Thanks!
