Research direction

Start by locating the search results view and its Select All checkbox, then trace how selection is limited to the current page and how bulk deletion uses that selection. Decide how selecting all results across pages should interact with the existing checkbox and deletion flow. Done means users can select all results in the current view and the behavior is clear before a bulk delete.

Description

What feature would you like to see?

An update to the Select All checkbox in search results so it can be clicked twice, or a second checkbox.

On sites like Gmail, Proton Mail, etc., you can check that box once (turning it from [ ] to [–]) to select all visible results on a page, just like how Bichon's checkbox operates. However, on those sites, you can also check that box a second time (turning it from [–] to [✓]) which selects ALL results from all pages in whatever view you're currently in.

My request would be to have Bichon's Select All check box match that behavior, or at least provide a second checkbox which selects ALL results from all pages in whatever view you're currently in.

Purpose / Use Case

Why is this feature needed? What problem does it solve?

Right now, checking that selects... everything on the page of results being viewed. That means if I really do want to delete ALL search results (for example, searching "Unsubscribe" to manage all newsletter emails that don't need to be kept), I need to check that box and press Delete over and over until all pages of results are processed. This makes accomplishing the task a little inconvenient at best, but also nigh impossible at worst, solely dependent on the quantity of results.

Additional Information (optional)

Any extra ideas or context.

If this checkbox behavior was not implemented due to concerns of over-deletion, maybe a second confirmation dialog box can be produced to the user to emphasize the gravity of the decision they're making before they make it.
