Missing status of current search index

[stv0g]

I'm missing a way to see the current status of the Lucene index.
Maybe a short status line in the configuration would be nice.

@stv0g I want to move to a central index to allow implementing search in other files. Then this will be added to the admin page. A status in the user page also makes sense. Actually you may want to exactly know the indexing status for each of your files. That requires adding a message column to the lucene status table ... and I need an Idea how and when to show that in the UI. I was thinking of a status icon, maybe like ℹ️ that reveals more info about a file. That might not only be used by search_lucene ... but could also show image dimensions and audio track length. @jancborchardt an opinion? Maybe a status sidebar on the right?

If it’s still indexing, hovering over the search icon could show a tooltip saying Indexing … 45 %. When it’s done, nothing should be shown.

Yeah, I noticed that. Unfortunately this popup only pops up for fraction of a second.
I think we could do better in terms of usability.

I like the solution @butonic proposed. There are a lot more infos OC could provide for a file or directory.
Last accessed, sharing status, etc.. But thats something which has to be added to the core I guess.

Let’s start with the most simple and non-invasive thing first. If we feel then that we need more, we can still do that.

The fact that we could provide more info on something does not mean we should.

Ok, so where do I put info about indexing errors? On the users status page? Together with a reindex option?

Just have the tooltip be permanent (to the left of the search icon) and say: »Indexing error, click to rescan«

... and the current index status below the disk quota on the user page.
