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.
