Enhancements to Box Search Results – both END-USERS & BOX ADMIN
Export of Box Search Results to csv – END-USERS & BOX ADMIN
Background:
• There are two methods of searching content in Box, for end-users
o Box Drive – limited information
o Box Web – more detailed
• Box end-user’s Web Search results, have two views
o List view
o Grid view
• Box Admins have Content Manager to search for content
Enhancements:
o Both end-users and Box Admins search results should both be enhanced
END-USERS Search Results:
• Box search results should CONTINUE to:
o exclude content in Personal user folders
o offer existing filters, but include NEW filters on other columns in the results
• Box search results ‘Sort by’ would offer ADDITIONAL sorts by:

o Last modified by (name)
o Files
o Size
• Additional button on right to identify additional results-view to toggle through
• Additional ‘page selection (including specific page selection, < and > )
• Additional button ‘Download’ to enable output to be downloaded to csv format

o Item name (document or folder)
o Path (including document name)
o Document text (when search finds content inside a document)
o Last modified date
o Last modified by (name)
o Number of files in folder (if result is a folder)

• All columns should be SIZEABLE (adjust column widths), and text too long should wrap onto new line

• BOX ADMINs SEARCH results should CONTINUE to search across ALL data owners
