Filtering and feeds
Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to a method for searching a database. The application receives an input identifying one or more users. The application matches the input to one or more user accounts, each user account corresponding to a user that was identified. The application presents to a requestor public accounts of each identified user account. The application receives a keyword input that filters one or more files in the public accounts. The application receives an input that saves a search comprising the user accounts and the keyword input. The application queries the database using the search. The application presents to the requestor a list of all files found using the search. The application dynamically updates the list to include new files matching a criteria of the search as new files satisfying the search are uploaded to the database.
1. A method of searching a database, comprising:
receiving a first input identifying one or more users;
querying the first input against all users of the database;
matching the first input to one or more user accounts, each user account corresponding to a user that was identified;
presenting to a requestor public accounts of each identified user account;
receiving a selection of one or more of the public accounts presented to the requestor;
receiving a second input that filters one or more files in the selected public accounts;
receiving a third input that saves a search comprising the user accounts and the second input;
querying the database using the search;
presenting to the requestor a list of all files found using the search;
receiving a fourth input to follow a folder, file gallery, file tag, or file metadata associated with one or more files in the selected public accounts;
translating the fourth input to follow a folder, file gallery, file tag, or file metadata into a search command based on a database location of the folder, file gallery, file tag, or file metadata that satisfies a first criteria generated from the first and second inputs;
dynamically updating the list to include new files matching a second criteria of the search command as soon as new files satisfying the second criteria of the search command are uploaded to the database;
pushing the new files to a device of the requestor; and
notifying the requestor when new files matching the criteria of the search command are uploaded to the database.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving an input that saves a search comprising the user accounts and the second input, comprises:
saving the search to a remote server communicating with the database.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
simultaneously maintaining a file history of the requestor, wherein the file history indicates the files the requestor has viewed; and
marking as viewed the files contained in the file history.
4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
marking as new the files not contained in the file history that match the criteria of the search command.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
presenting to the requestor activity related to the list of all files found using the search.
6. A system, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory having instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by the processor, performs an operation for searching a database, the operation, comprising:
receiving a first input identifying one or more users;
querying the first input against all users of the database;
matching the first input to one or more user accounts, each user account corresponding to a user that was identified;
presenting to a requestor public accounts of each identified user account;
receiving a selection of one or more of the public accounts presented to the requestor;
receiving a second input that filters one or more files in the selected public accounts;
receiving a third input that saves a search comprising the user accounts and the second input;
querying the database using the search;
presenting to the requestor a list of all files found using the search;
receiving a fourth input to follow a folder, file gallery, file tag, or file metadata associated with one or more files in the selected public accounts;
translating the fourth input to follow a folder, file gallery, file tag, or file metadata into a search command based on a database location of the folder, file gallery, file tag, or file metadata that satisfies a first criteria generated from the first and second inputs;
dynamically updating the list to include new files matching a second criteria of the search command as soon as new files satisfying the second criteria of the search command are uploaded to the database;
pushing the new files to a device of the requestor; and
notifying the requestor when new files matching the criteria of the search command are uploaded to the database.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein receiving an input that saves a search comprising the user accounts and the second input, comprises:
saving the search to a remote server communicating with the database.
8. The system of claim 6 , further comprising:
simultaneously maintaining a file history of the requestor, wherein the file history indicates the files the requestor has viewed; and
marking as viewed the files contained in the file history.
9. The system of claim 8 , further comprising:
marking as new the files not contained in the file history that match the criteria of the search.
10. The system of claim 6 , further comprising:
presenting to the requestor activity related to the list of all files found using the search.
11. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method of searching a database, comprising:
receiving a first input identifying one or more users;
querying the first input against all users of the database;
matching the first input to one or more user accounts, each user account corresponding to a user that was identified;
presenting to a requestor public accounts of each identified user account;
receiving a selection of one or more of the public accounts presented to the requestor;
receiving a second input that filters one or more files in the selected public accounts;
receiving a third input that saves a search comprising the user accounts and the second input;
querying the database using the search;
presenting to the requestor a list of all files found using the search;
receiving a fourth input to follow a folder, file gallery, file tag, or file metadata associated with one or more files in the selected public accounts;
translating the fourth input to follow a folder, file gallery, file tag, or file metadata into a search command based on a database location of the folder, file gallery, file tag, or file metadata that satisfies a first criteria generated from the first and second inputs;
dynamically updating the list to include new files matching a second criteria of the search command as soon as new files satisfying the second criteria of the search command are uploaded to the database;
pushing the new files to a device of the requestor; and
notifying the requestor when new files matching the criteria of the search command are uploaded to the database.
12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein receiving an input that saves a search comprising the user accounts and the second input, comprises:
saving the search to a remote server communicating with the database.
