Summary
A user has suggested filtering search results by code type (for example, SNOMED Procedure or Record artifact, ICD-10 Chapter) while building codelists. This may help reduce irrelevant search results and make reviewing search matches easier. See: https://bennettoxford.slack.com/archives/C07AA91BZD4/p1784535255724359
What would you like to achieve?
Problem: When a search returns many results across different code types, users must manually review and deselect large numbers of irrelevant codes before identifying the ones they want.
One user described wanting to focus on a specific category of codes (for example, procedures) rather than reviewing every matching result.
Who would benefit and how?
Codelist builders
Potential benefit: Allowing users to filter search results by code type could:
- reduce the amount of manual review required
- make large result sets easier to navigate
- help users find relevant codes more quickly
Open questions
- Should filtering affect the recorded search (search terms), or simply the way results are displayed?
- Is filtering valuable without bulk select/deselect functionality, or would users still face significant manual effort?
- Are there other metadata fields users would also want to filter by?
