What do you like to achieve with all the words in caps and the big & bold parts? We are not infants? It now looks like a very bad designed advertisement đź«Ł It makes me NOT reading your posts in detail, sorry. ---

The search engine is the least that borders me for Athom development to put time in.

Hi Peter - thanks for the feedback, - Sorry, if the bold formatting of my post today, caused offence, this was never my intention. - When I first posted about the “IKEA Tradfri” search not working, it was just a simple post. - I was updating my original thread - by adding in additional “non working” search tags. - I thought, finding “IKEA Tradfri” was not working, may be relevant as they are a major brand. - When Athom find time to improve their search engine, I wanted them to have all of the non working search strings in one thread, for their technical engineers to refer to at a later date. - Geurt replied, as he could NOT replicate my reported problem, ref searching “IKEA Tradfri”. - I realised that, my original post, was not been worded very clearly. - I therefore responded with some more detail - and probably went over the top to re-word. - I was trying to clarify why it was not working for me, but was working OK for Geurt. - I was also trying to identify, browsers & platforms it did not work in - i.e. Windows / IPAD etc - I added extra detail, as I care enough to want to improve things, and to make it crystal clear. - I was also hoping that someone from Athom may one day, be asked to view the post. - I realise that the Community itself cannot cure this problem. - I have gone back and removed the **BOLD** words - to try and not cause offense. - I was genuinely trying to contribute to make Homey a better and improved platform. - My login is greyed out, so does not allow me to raise a support ticket until I purchase my Homey Pro. The community suggests users wait until BETA v10.3.0-rc.7, becomes final. - I intend to mainly purchase, Matter over Thread devices, so as I am a new and inexperienced user, I thought it would be best to wait for the full Thread release, before purchasing my Homey Pro. - After purchase, my Login will, allow me to send an improvement request directly to Athom. - Apologies, if I have caused offence, it was never intended, hope that this is now corrected. Regards Tony 🙂 ---

Additional information for Athom, which may help when they start working on improving the Apps search engine. I have been thinking about why my IKEA search was not working and it might be a bug related to Language Keyboards - “IKEA Trådfri” - Works OK - “IKEA Tradfri” - NOT Working ---

My original post on this thread, was because I was searching the APP store for “DASHBOARDS”. To help anyone else on the Community who may also be searching for Dashboard software. My original search for - “DASHBOARDS” - found 4 x Apps If you change your search and do a new search without the plural - you will find more APPS. A new search for just “DASHBOARD” - non plural - will give a result of - 6 Apps This better search will give you more APP options to choose from.
