Improved all activities search

I’m turning this question of mine into a feature request. :grin: How can I effectively search all activities?

I think the app could use much better “all activities” search capabilities than the current solution tucked away in Calendar View > OPTIONS > Search.

I’d love to have a way to open a modal that’s focused on searching quickly across all activities (for all time) with the option to filter by date ranges, activity type, and name/description (both fields combined, not just name), and which returns a more meaningful set of results than just name and date, and then allow sorting by a configured column (with descending date as the default order).

I think for most “all activities” searches, those 3 filters would be adequate for most cases in order to find stuff.

So the existing API /activities/search/q=STRING could be enhanced to:

  1. Include activity description for the q parameter (not just name).
  2. Add optional from and to date parameters.
  3. Add optional activityType parameter.

And then return a few more fields per result than it does today.

This would also allow quickly comparing activities based on pre-computed information found in fit files (and I assume other activity sources) like avg speed, distance, elapsed time, total time, load, avg power, normalized power, avg HR, etc.

See the original thread for background info.

FYI, this was basically implemented today by @david: Search all activities from list view

Works really well!

And I see that the Intervals.icu API docs and Intervals.icu API docs APIs were also enhanced to search the description field of activities for the value of the q parameter! :smile:
