Benefits / Advantages of a result list
Gabi Reinhard
Please display the results in the file manager as a result list and not only in the search window.
1. The biggest advantage: I can work with the result list and not just look at it.
2. The details of the file can be opened and it is easy to return to the file without scrolling through the result list.
3. It is easy to select multiple files from the list by checking the checkbox.
4. The available actions for a file / the activated files can be executed, like "Delete, Replace, ...".
5. It is easy to compare and decide between the different files:
a. Which file can be deleted?
b. Which is the file that can be replaced?
c. Is this file still needed?
6. Additional information about each result will be displayed in the result list immediately like "File size, Type, Date, Modified, Used In, Last Modifier", i.e. it may not be necessary to open the details of the file.
That's why I'm in favor of a button to open the search results as a list with all the functionality for the files.
