Enable Pre-filter below the search term input field in NDE UI
Background:
In the previous Primo VE UI, users were able to apply Pre-filters directly below the search term input field. This functionality allowed for more precise and efficient searching without requiring access to Advanced Search.
Proposal:
We recommend implementing the same feature in the NDE UI, enabling users to select Pre-filters directly beneath the search term input field.
Benefits:
Users frequently use the "contains exact phrase" option or use the “begin with” option. (Especially for non-English speaking users like us.)
Providing Pre-filter functionality in the brief search interface will allow users to execute advanced searches quickly and intuitively, without navigating to Advanced Search.
This enhancement improves usability and aligns with user expectations based on previous UI behavior.

Since the functionality was added to Primo VE original UI, our users have become accustomed to using the pre-filters and they like them. It saves them a lot of time to not have to change to Advanced Search or to apply filters after searching. We would like to see this functionality restored in the NDE UI. There does not seem to be any similar function to suit this purpose.
