Change in Search Logic and Tab Order on Explore Page
Emmanuel
Summary:
We're considering a change of behavior for the search system to enhance the user experience on our marketplace template, and your feedback is crucial.
Current Behavior:
Search Logic: When using the search box, results are displayed with the 'NFTs' tab as the primary focus.
Explore Page Tabs: The tabs on the explore page currently display 'NFTs' as the first tab.
Proposed Changes:
Search Logic: Modify the search result display so that the 'Collection' tab is shown first instead of the 'NFTs' tab.
Explore Page Tabs: Rearrange the tabs on the explore page to have the 'Collections' tab as the first tab.
Reasons for Change:
Improved Speed: Displaying the 'Collection' tab first in search results and on the explore page would render content faster.
User Preference: Users typically start by searching for the Collection name and then search for specific NFTs within that collection. Aligning the tab order with this user behavior could enhance the overall experience.
We Value Your Opinion!
How do you feel about these changes? Would rearranging the tabs and altering the search logic improve your experience on our platform? We're looking for your insights and suggestions.

I agree this is a good UX improvement. Even if I am searching for an NFT rather than a collection, I can click into the collection and then search within there if I am looking for a single NFT.

I would also add to the UX reasons: when the natural search query is the name of the collection (ex. "Bored Ape Yacht Club"), and NFTs often do not have the collection name in their name (ex. "2413"). This results in missing search results when the user sees results for NFTs by default.
So it would be more comfortable first to find the collection he is looking for and then he could filter the NFT from the selected collection by other criteria like price, traits, etc.
