Add custom keywords to find transformers

This functionality largely exists, but is not at all obvious. When you start typing to find a transformer, a text box appears. If you click on the magnifying glass icon on the right of that text box you can choose to "Search by keyword". This is will often allow you to find a transformer when you don't know its name, but know what it does.

The Search option on the Quick Add also activates if you use the TAB key on your Keybord.

This only works if the transformer has the keyword you are using. I want to be able to add additional keywords to transformers. Searching for the keyword trim, will not return the snipper transformer currently.

Innovation Daze is here! 💫

There is a group of us who want to spend the next 3 days chatting with customers (you!) about finding the right tools for authoring your workflow (for example, finding the right transformer).

Who are we looking for? 👀

Anyone who remembers what it was like building their first workflow, or would self identify as a beginner to intermediate user of FME Desktop.

What is the commitment? 📝

A ~45 minute informal chat with one of Safe's product managers or designers. We'd be asking you about your experience with building workflows early in your FME journey: What barriers did you face in building your first production workflow?

What do you get out of it? 🍦

To influence the future of the product, and be a part of the infamous 'Innovation Daze' process! We would love to take some time to really listen to what you are struggling with (or struggled with) while learning FME and how we can help in the near and long term.

How do I sign up?

That's it! We hope to hear from you 😄

It's Survey Time! If you are interested in providing feedback about the process you go through to find the right transformer for the job you want to accomplish, please go to this link and give us your honest thoughts.

This anonymous survey should take 5 - 10 minutes to complete - and all experience levels with FME are welcomed. This idea is strongly related to the area that we are researching, so if you are supporting this idea, it's worth the time to get your feedback in the survey.

If you've got more to say than is covered in the survey, my colleague @annabelleatsafe? has posted a sign up link for IN PERSON interviews with members of the UX research and Product Management team in the next comment. We would love to chat if you have the time.
