One thing I always found awkward with assets is the way search works.

With the kind of stuff I do, I essentially always need a total of three clicks to get to the view I want. Specifically, I always want the advanced search view which means I go through the following five screens:

The above seems like it’s way more bothersome than it needs to be. Specifically, I have two suggestions which, at least for me, would result in a markedly improved UI/UX:

1. All the above views should be combined into one. What I imagine is that the first view - the one you get when you click “Assets” - should contain all the options you get in the other views, so it ends up having the advanced filtering options seen in view 5 as well as everything in view (1). I.e. view (1) should have the “advanced…” button, allowing you to get all the filters seen in view 5.
   I’m not sure what I think should happen to “quick search” I always found it somewhat useless to be frank. One problem is that it doesn’t allow you filter, but only pick one specific result. With the changes I suggest, I imagine it would not have much use anymore, but you might have some better insights into how it’s used of course.
