Add a "beep" when a search is not found.

VictorParkerPIM · Post by **VictorParkerPIM** » Sat Mar 22, 2025 3:22 am

I'm doing a search in the upper right search field in Notes, when I type a character that the search does not find,
all of the characters in the search field turn red.
I don't always look at the search field while I'm typing, please have a "beep" when the characters turn red.
Sometimes I have typed a couple of words after the search was not found.

+1

I think this should be a feature in every module of EPIM that has any type of search entry field.

That's an interesting idea, thanks for sharing it!

At the danger of making this too complicated such that it deters implementation, I would suggest the following for consideration, in the Options menu:

1. Turn the beep on or off (globally). There may be times and users who don't want it.

2. Have the ability to select a standard beep sound in Windows, or maybe upload a sound file for the purpose. For some, if could be a "fun" sound!

Maybe experiment with this concept in the current Beta if it is not too complicated to implement?

good idea.
by try to test search in actual stable i noticed you cant use search in epimtoday or change toolbar by right click!
but good idea.
some may want to set and/or window prompt if no results, like you get feedback from system by errors.
some, like me.
