Description

This PR enhances issue search with content-aware and multi-keyword search support.

  • Search issues by title, plain-text description, sequence ID, and project identifier.
  • Support whitespace-separated keyword searches with extra spaces ignored.
  • Require every keyword to match the issue title or description for multi-keyword searches.
  • Generate a normalized description snippet for content matches.
  • Display the description snippet below the issue title in search results.
  • Highlight matching keywords in issue titles and description snippets.
  • Add unit and contract test coverage for description search and multi-keyword matching.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • Feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Improvement (change that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Code refactoring
  • Performance improvements
  • Documentation update

Screenshots and Media (if applicable)

N/A

Test Scenarios

  • Verify that an issue is returned when the keyword matches only its description.
  • Verify that HTML tags are removed from the displayed description snippet.
  • Verify that extra whitespace between keywords is ignored.
  • Verify that all keywords must match across the issue title or description.
  • Verify that issues missing any keyword are excluded from the results.
  • Verify that matching keywords are highlighted in the issue title and description snippet.
  • Added unit tests for search snippet generation and keyword matching.
  • Added contract tests for global issue search behavior.
  • git diff --check passed.
  • Full automated test execution is pending CI verification.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Global issue search now supports multi-term matching across issue names and descriptions. It returns generated description snippets. PowerK search results propagate the active term, highlight matches, and display issue snippets in multiline items.

Changes

Workspace issue search

Layer / File(s) Summary
Issue matching and snippets
packages/types/src/workspace.ts, apps/api/plane/utils/issue_search.py, apps/api/plane/app/views/search/base.py, apps/api/plane/tests/unit/utils/test_issue_search.py, apps/api/plane/tests/contract/app/test_global_search_app.py
The API adds whitespace tokenization, multi-term issue matching, description snippet generation, and the nullable description_snippet field. Unit and contract tests cover matching, normalization, snippets, and exclusions.
Search query propagation
apps/web/core/components/power-k/ui/modal/search-menu.tsx, apps/web/core/components/power-k/ui/modal/search-results.tsx
The search flow clears stale results, ignores whitespace-only terms, guards inactive requests, passes the debounced term to result rendering, and includes snippets in item values.
Highlighted result rendering
apps/web/core/components/power-k/ui/modal/search-highlight.tsx, apps/web/core/components/power-k/ui/modal/search-results-map.tsx, apps/web/core/components/power-k/ui/modal/command-item.tsx
The UI highlights exact queries and keywords across result names. Issue results render highlighted identifiers, names, and description snippets with multiline alignment.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c9493

This PR adds content-aware and multi-keyword issue search, but the current implementation can omit relevant matches or display stale results because result ordering and overlapping requests are not safely controlled; failed searches are also harder to diagnose because errors are not logged. These issues should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merge.

45-78: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Prevent obsolete search responses from replacing current results.

The effect does not invalidate an earlier request. If the user changes or clears the input while a request is pending, that request can later set results, count, and isSearching for an obsolete term. The UI can then show and select issues that do not match the current input.

Reset the visible state when searchTerm changes. Track the active request or cancel it so only the latest request can update state.

Replace any with a result-group type mapping.

itemName and path accept any. This disables strict validation for the API result shapes, including IWorkspaceIssueSearchResult.description_snippet.

Define the group map with a key-to-item-type mapping. Type each renderer with the item type for its group.

As per coding guidelines, “TypeScript strict mode enabled; all files must be typed.”

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Restore deterministic ordering before the result limit.

issues has no order_by() before [:100]. The database can return matching issues in any order. Relevant issues can disappear from the first 100 results between requests.

Apply order_by("-created_at") before distinct() and slicing. This matches the ordering used by the other global-search result groups.

Proposed fix
-            issues.distinct()
+            issues.order_by("-created_at")
+            .distinct()

Log the search request failure.

Line 74 discards the rejection reason. Use try/catch, keep the error typed as unknown, and send active-request failures to the approved client error logger before resetting the result state.

As per coding guidelines: “Use try-catch with proper error types and log errors appropriately for error handling.”
