Ability to use a fully customisable search bar about sanity

Hello, thank you for raising this feature request.

Have you tried adding weighted search to your studio?

Hi Jordan.

We saw that feature in your documentation but this is not really suiting our needs. We may want to manipulate the search results in a more complex way that is possible with just changing the weight of some fields on the schema.

Additionally, the filtering and sorting options we require are quite important for our content editor so they can quickly find what they need.

Are you still on Studio v2 or just an older version of v3?

The global search in newer Studio versions has the ability to add "facets" to the search, so you could select a specific instructor in your Studio, just like how the filter below could select author.

You could also try opting to our newer (and currently not widely released or recommended) Text Search API, by setting:

// ./sanity.config.ts|js

import {defineConfig} from 'sanity'

export default defineConfig({
  // ...rest of config
  search: {
    enableLegacySearch: false,
  }
})

We are still on v2 but were planning to migrate to v3 later this summer. Good to know about this feature.

What benefits brings the Text Search API exactly ?
