Improve design of "Places" filter

[marcoambrosini]

Looks good! The only thing that I would add is a search box on top of the places filter too. These can be a lot (see our company instance) and it might also get confusing.
It would be also great to set up search aliases, for example if someone searches "Chat", they're also presented with the "talk" and "conversation" filters.

I’d say rather than a search box for the mass of Places, we need to heavily prune that list to something that makes more sense. E.g. group all those of a specific app, as it doesn’t really make sense to separate them.

@kra-mo if you have thoughts on global search, also in comparison to Spotlight and Raycast.

@jancborchardt That’s a good idea! I think both things should be done at the same time. Keep in mind that any app can add a provider to that list, so it could potentially become quite long.
This is essentially a select component, and when there are more than just a handful of options, it’s always a good idea to allow typing as well.

The only thought I have is that the only way to make global search useful is by placing it on the user's path to something to make it not feel secondary and make sure it isn't ignored. Eg. Spotlight is now on your way to apps or your clipboard history.
