I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  1. Security - add two factor authentication for Vulcan

    Two-step verification (sometimes called multi-factor authentication or 2FA) should help us protect our TB content by making it more difficult for someone else to log into our TheBrain account.
    Ideally, offer it with Microsoft or Google Authenticator apps.

  2. Have an Option for Single Brain use

    Have an option (default Off) to be Single Brain -- then Vulcan searches can hide the brain name, clicking a new tab opens a new tab not a Brain selection screen. There are some other streamlining points.

    The option to limit searches to the current brain already exists - see the checkbox near the bottom of the brain settings dialog.


    Also, the way brain tabs work will be vastly improved in a future release.

  3. Boolean Search Operators

    Implement advanced boolean operators, with all the normal operators (AND, OR, XOR, NEAR, NOT, and exact phrase match) and parenthesis support for precedence.

    Should search in titles, note's contents and hopefully in the indexed attachment contents.

    I saw that the vulcan web client supports this but as far as I know it only searches for titles and labels and attachments' titles.

    Search in the web client and desktop now use the same underlying technology. Both web and desktop index all text associated with a thought including content within most attached files. Both web and desktop support boolean operators. We are working on updating the documentation - a slightly out of date version can be found here: https://bra.in/4jYgwA

  4. Link the forum with this page.

    A visible link button on the forum pages would help, to directly jump to the "TheBrain Feature Suggestions."
