Feature Request: Term search improvements
99% of the time I just want to see a single term group. So I have to click Nothing and then click the group I want. I think you should be able to hold down SHIFT to it show only this group, no matter what the state of the filter is at the moment. Or perhaps a better idea would be to reverse that and have SHIFT add or remove from the current selection and without SHIFT replaces it.
Now that we are using a custom menu for the categories, that's possible. Previously it was the built-in tag filter from Unity which doesn't allow that control.
Will add this for the next release.
Currently the Search field under the terms UI doesn't search for group names. I often use groups and then the final term key is just a number 0,1,2,3,4, etc. That way I can use the very handy GetTermsList("Game/Praise/Good") to enumerate possible messages. So for these terms I need to be able to search by the group name. I have a lot of groups.
Good call. So, basically you want to do filter: "Game/Praise" and it will show all terms under the Game/Praise category plus all terms that are under the Game category and start with Praise.
I like that, will add it to the next beta.
Similar to #2, I'd like to be able to search for language text. For example, there's a lot of power in being able to find all instances of a certain word. For example if I want to replace "color" (en-US) with "colour" (en-GB) without having to find them in the game UI or across multiple tabs in a spreadsheet.
Do you mean, to search inside the term's translations?
Like for instance:
if you filter by "example"
It will show all of this cases:
- Terms that belong to the "example" category (e.g. "Tutorial/Example01/Title")
- Terms whose name contain "example" (e.g. "Help/ExampleTitle")
- Terms having the word "example" in their translations (e.g. "TIP1":English='This is just an example")
Is that right?

I just added a better filtering to 2.8.6b1.
Now by default it will show all terms where the name or its category matches the text
But it can also have a prefix to modify the search:
c text will filter all terms whose category doesn't have 'text' (i.e. will not try to match the term name)
f text will show only terms that have the word 'text' in their translation.
To make this even easier to remember, I added a tooltip next to the filter bar showing the possible options.
Hope that helps,
Frank
