@Genevieve P. Hello! Per your guidelines, I'm trying to search the Feedback and Ideas board ONLY to see if my idea was already posted by someone else. Unfortunately, when I type in the search bar, it searches every board. How do I limit search to just the Feedback and Ideas board?

Hey @Ami Veltrie,

Thanks for asking! I'm happy to help.

After you search, make sure you filter by the correct Category on the left:

Cheers,

Genevieve

Hi @Genevieve P. - To avoid posting duplicate ideas, is there a recommended way to search what is already posted, by product, topic, feature, or some other method?

Hi,

I hope you're well and safe!

When you search, you can select Smartsheet Product Feedback & Ideas. (see screenshot)

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

Hi all,

Just a quick update here! We've now updated the Community site so that if you search for a term while in the Product Ideas section, the search bar will automatically click the correct filter for you so you only see Idea type of posts. 🙂

Try it out, here:
