[Feature Request] [UX] [Save] Find to reveal sub-collections

[Gerard Bosch]

Hi there! I describe the idea and the motivation:

• I'm using collections and nested collections to organize the pages I bookmark.
• When I want to bookmark a page, I use the collection picker to find the right collection.
• But most of the time I'm not aware of all sub-collections that I created under the "main collection", so I cannot save to the sub-collection that's best fitted for the page by directly using the search, I mean, without browsing the whole collections list.

Here is a trivial example of what I mean:

programming collection sub-tree:

When I want to save a page under programming collection, I'd like that the search function would also show all nested collections, so I can pick the most suited one, like the following prototype:

Ideas

• Nested collections could have an arbitrary depth, so showing them all on main collection search could be messy. So nested collections could expand further after writing the path to them, e.g. programming/Java could show only collections immediately under Java/.
• In case the nested collection lookup produce messy output (too many results), using a slash / to trigger the nested search maybe could help, but direct search seems easier from the user side at first sight.

I hope this helps to improve this awesome tool! 🎉

For the record, the feature request was already in better.raindrop.io, but I originally put the full description and screenshots here in this issue.
