Search index init UX is confusing #1609
Labels
A-Search
A-Seshat
A-Timeline-Search
O-Uncommon
Most users are unlikely to come across this or unexpected workflow
S-Major
Severely degrades major functionality or product features, with no satisfactory workaround
T-Defect
Steps to reproduce
Message search initialisation failed, check your settings for more information
Unknown error
and a Button to resetYou most likely do not want to reset your event index store
Outcome
What did you expect?
Search to just work
What happened instead?
User has to do many steps, some of which are misleading.
If the whole search initialisation failed, with "Unknown error", maybe the init step should be re-run without even telling the user? Either way, the only path here was to trigger a reset, but the errors and messages along the way are disruptive.
