Love Freshdesk! :)

As time goes, we still have more and more tickets.
And now we have returning customers.

We have to do a lot of searching thru our previous tickets ofcourse.
But the search option in the ticketsystem for agents is realy poor.

If you don't know the ticketnumber, you have a hell of a time finding the right ticket.
Sometimes I know the persons name. So I do a search.

I search for (e.g.) Richard Smith.
The result is overwhelming. I see ALL Richards and ALL smiths.
But there is no option to narrow it down.

I want the result to be Richard AND Smith ofcourse.
(we have over 10.000 tickets about now.... so we have a lot of results when searching for anything...)

Searching is all about finding :)
Please make the search better. Include AND, NOT for instance. THis is not that hard and makes it better instantly.

Hi Dennis,


Glad to know you love our product - nothing makes us happier :) 


I'm also glad to share with you that most of the points mentioned above are already being addressed in an ongoing relevancy improvisation exercise. Searching for ticket numbers, contacts and many more fields have been improvised significantly and you will be able to see a noticeable difference in the near future. 


While we're at it, we will also consider and evaluate the best approaches to supporting advanced operations on search such "AND"/"NOT" etc


Have a great day!

I have also experienced this problem and have resorted to searching through external resources (reports, time cards, Trello) to find ticket numbers because the search just doesn't narrow down far enough.  It might be useful to have the search provide a list of results, then provide filters on customer, contact, agent, status, etc to help narrow the candidate list.  Just a thought.

Hi everyone,


Just wanted to share that we have recently rolled out a major enhancement to our search implementation involving substantial relevance improvements. We have designed this enhancement after carefully evaluating all the valuable feedback received and hope this enhancement considerably improves your search experience within Freshdesk, while we analyze further optimizations to the feature. 


For further enhancements, especially relating to advanced search (narrowing down search results using filters) we have an active conversation running on this forum: https://support.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/topics/5678/.

Please use the above link for all future correspondence related to this request. Thanks!
