#26.03 - Enhanced Search Reveals Everything at a Glance

You can now find what you need faster than ever. Our completely redesigned search experience brings context right to your fingertips. When you hit Cmd+K, you're greeted with a unified command palette that shows not just matching items, but rich metadata about each result – trip names, departure dates, participant counts, and prices appear inline so you can identify the right item without clicking through.

The new search intelligently filters results by entity type with dedicated tabs for Orders and Trips, each showing result counts so you know exactly what's available. Search results are ranked by relevance and display contextual information like which trip an order belongs to, when it departs, and its current status. This means less time hunting through similar-looking entries and more time focusing on what matters.

For travel agencies managing international bookings, participants can now have passport information recorded directly, including issue dates, expiry dates, issuing country, and nationality. This data can be configured at both the workspace and individual trip level, giving you flexibility in what information to collect based on your specific needs.

Behind the scenes, we've also strengthened the system's security architecture. Authentication now happens server-side, keeping sensitive tokens away from the browser while maintaining seamless performance. Session management has been enhanced to persist across page refreshes, and workspace switching is now more reliable with proper cache invalidation.

The dashboard has received thoughtful improvements too. Order and payment sections now show loading states while fetching data, giving you clear feedback that information is on its way. Visual polish has been added throughout with subtle shadows on containers and smooth animations when expanding sidebar menus. The currently active page is now highlighted in the navigation, and clicking the dashboard link or logo instantly takes you home while collapsing any open submenus.
