The current WordPress-Android app has many functionalities which are present in the WordPress Web. But the app still lacks the ability to search through the list of posts, pages, or comments synced to the app. If the user has lots of posts or comments synced, than finding any post/comment is really cumbersome. So by the In-app search functionality users can easily find post among the long list of posts. Also I had idea of adding the Search as Navigation Item in the Navigation drawer which will act as Global Search. The Global Search means, enter search query and we can show the corresponding Posts,comments,pages resulting from the query. The search query will be searched among the title,description,excerpt,tags,categories. For the comments search can be among the author name, post title,comment,author email.
Secondly there is no option of sorting(filtering) the post/comment by its status. Many comments which are older are ignored simply because it is at the bottom of the list as the Comment list is sorted by date. So adding functionality of sorting posts/comments will also ease the usage of the app for the users. Sometimes the user might want to find all the comments which are pending to be moderated. So by filtering only Pending comments, the user can easily find all pending comments and moderate it. Similar is the case with posts.
Filtering: This feature will be added with the following .
For comments:
-
All: show all the comments without filtering (Default)
-
Pending: Only show the pending comments.
-
Approved: Show all the approved comments
-
Spam: Show the comments that are marked as spam.
For posts:

-
Local Drafts: Those posts which are locally drafter
