I have always missed a feature like this in Joomla.
How about letting the user search for images on a server. Surley 'browse' is getting old?
Below is a mock-up.

@brianteeman I'm going to ignore that answer. The graphic is a mock-up, and I know there are mechanics behind such a feature. I've been with this CMS since the Mambo-days. All I wanted to do was suggest a feature. A bad idea on my part apparently. :(
Here is a related PR already merged to the new media manager
joomla-projects/media-manager-improvement#529
It works as filtering for currently open folder,
it is not as a full search of all directory structure
For such a search you would need to create an index of filenames that is stored in DB
(like how search works in your OS), otherwise you will be having a slow search every time that you search
then for every found filename, you would have a link to its folder, and folder would open in media manager with the filtering implemented by PR
joomla-projects/media-manager-improvement#529
being set to the specific search term

@franz-wohlkoenig The comment by @ggppdk is in the lines of how I was thinking. Ideally there should be some sort of global search.
My reason for putting this request here is that I've been testing Medium.com, and how they have implemented photo search is fantastic. Something in those lines would be amazing for Joomla and would take Joomla to the next level.
I run several news sites on Joomla with thousands of users every day. We have a lot of content and photos every day, the struggle with where to look in the folder structure is very time consuming and tiring, a search feature similar to Medium would be an amazing feature for Joomla.
And while we're on the subject of content. Isn't the Media manager and the editor more than ready to be upgraded to a 2018 standard? Fighting TinyMCE and the useless Media manager in 2018 is quite something. With Medium and Wordpress Gutenberg in mind, Joomla should really be upgraded to compete with these offerings.
Some rambling and thoughts. Thank you for reading.
@kurtroesand can you please close the Issue?
