All lists are custom lists!

Integrate "custom lists" (saved searches) and the built-in lists so that they can be managed similarly—and saved searches are not "searches" but regular lists. And the default list could be customizable. As far as I can tell, every list can be replicated using saved searches, AND can be better customized as the user needs—which kind of makes the built-in lists obsolete.

My 2 big personal pain points are:

1. I want to get rid of most of the lists! Saved searches is so powerful, I can create filters/sorts that exactly match my workflow and all the default views/tabs just clutter it up massively—especially on iOS where the amount of stuff is more impactful.

2. I can't search my saved searches. I really need to search my "custom lists."

When a user creates a new list, there can be options to create any of the original default lists. Then each list can be further customized, if needed, just like saved searches. This also opens the doors to organizing lists however we want.

Of course, users should start with all the default lists because learning to build custom lists should come later!

Oh yeah! "Z" to reveal details, so that notes will be searched, then Ctrl F. Very nice workaround! Thank you.

my pain point is that sorting cannot be saved for each unique saved search. i only work out of saved searches.

On my system, each saved search has it's own search order. Maybe you should look again?

thank you for your response.

so we have custom search A & B

Custom search A
"start date" "was not in the last" "500 days"

Custom search B
"context" "is not" "review"

please explain how you save the following:

Custom search A
sort 1 "folder"
sort 2 "alphabetical"
sort 3 "auto"

Custom search B
sort 1 "folder"
sort 2 "context"
sort 3 "auto"

In your account settings under "Behavior Preferences" make sure that you have enabled "Save sort preferences on a per-list basis"
