Company Search

"The search function is designed to return all records that satisfy the entered character sequence. Short inputs commonly match many records, so the search may appear to return 'too many' results even though it is functioning as intended. The more characters you add to the global search, the more accurate the results will be."

While we understand this is the current design, it does not fully address the usability concern. The purpose of the search function is to help CSMs find the required company quickly and efficiently. Returning a large number of related records makes the process more time-consuming and less user-friendly.

If there is any way to improve the search behavior such as prioritizing exact company name matches, reducing unrelated results, or providing more relevant filtering it would significantly improve the user experience and make the search function more effective.

I feel there is a slight improvement in the search results since the latest release. While I agree it can be better and often the exact search string appears as 4th or 5th result while a close match appears as first result.

 

There is surely scope for further improvement in global search functionality.

I found this help page that contains customization of  searching Company in Global Search, for example, choosing search target fields will optimize the number of search result.
Gainsight looks trying to become more useful search function, in the near future, so it will become better :-)

Hi Priyanka,

We completely understand the issue and the impact it has on the user experience. Unfortunately, this isn’t something we have planned in our near-term roadmap, so I don’t have a timeline I can share at this point.

I’ve added this to our roadmap though, and we’ll keep it in consideration as we plan future enhancements.

Thanks for raising this with us
