# Mission Control Search Enhancement
## Summary
Enhanced Mission Control's search functionality with the following improvements:
## Changes Made
### 1. Enhanced Search API (`/app/api/search/route.ts`)
#### New Features:
- **Search Result Highlighting**: Added `SearchResultHighlight` interface with match positions for highlighting matching terms in titles and snippets
- **Advanced Filters**: Added support for filtering by:
- Type (task, project, document, sprint)
- Status (open, in-progress, done, etc.)
- Date ranges (from/to)
- **Relevance Scoring**: Implemented `calculateRelevanceScore` function that considers:
- Exact title matches (+100)
- Title starts with query (+80)
- Title contains query (+60)
- Content matches (+10 per match, max 40)
- Recency boost (+10 for items updated < 7 days, +5 for < 30 days)
- Active status boost (+5 for in-progress/open/active items)
- **Performance Metrics**: Added `executionTimeMs` to track search performance
- **Improved Snippets**: Added `createHighlightedSnippet` function for better context around matches
#### Response Structure:
```typescript
interface SearchResponse {
results: SearchableResult[];
total: number;
query: string;
filters?: SearchFilters;
executionTimeMs?: number;
}
```
### 2. Enhanced Quick Search Component (`/components/layout/quick-search.tsx`)
#### New Features:
- **Search Filters UI**: Added Popover-based filter panel with:
- Type filters (Tasks, Projects, Documents, Sprints)
- Status filters (Open, In Progress, Done, etc.)
- Active filter count badge
- Clear all filters button
- **Search History**: Added localStorage-based search history with:
- Last 10 searches stored
- 30-day expiration
- History display when search is empty
- Individual history item removal
- Clear all history option
- Result count tracking
- **Highlighted Results**: Added `HighlightedText` component that shows matching terms with yellow background
- **Improved UI**: Better grouping, status icons, and visual hierarchy
### 3. New Search Hook (`/hooks/useSearch.ts`)
#### Features:
- **`useSearch` hook**: Comprehensive search state management with:
- Debounced search (configurable, default 150ms)
- Request cancellation support
- Error handling
- Filter management
- Callbacks for results and errors
- **`useSearchHistory` hook**: Reusable history management with:
- Automatic localStorage sync
- Duplicate prevention
- Max item limit (10)
- 30-day automatic cleanup
- **Utilities**:
- `createHighlightedText`: Helper for text highlighting
## API Usage Examples
### Basic Search
```
GET /api/search?q=mission
```
### Search with Filters
```
GET /api/search?q=mission&types=task,project&status=open,in-progress
```
### Search with Date Range
```

2. **User Experience**:
- Visual feedback during loading
- No results message with filter reset
