It would be really useful to be able to filter My Activities by the geographical location. Potentially allowing users to browse their heat map and when they click on an area of their heat map it lists all activities that occurred on that point.
I have asked for this for years, and since you bombard me with requests to subscribe, I'll tell you what it would take.
It's simple. The filtering available on my activities is rudimentary. I should be able to select 1 or more activity types, date ranges etc. and get totals and counts where they make sense.
I will never subscribe until you provide this simple enhancement. As a web designer/developer, I would think this would have been provided at first release. Showing tabular data with no proper filtering and reporting is just unacceptable.
When I search in My Activities I must give the exact word used as one of the words in the activity title.
Searching with "morning" gives (a lot of) hits, but searching with "morn" gives zero hits. I'm used to searching with partial words and think that it would be a nice feature to add to the Strava website.
I have 12+ years of activities on Strava. Finding anything by name is nearly impossible.
Here is an example. I am going to do a run on Grand Ridge trail, so I want to look at my past activities. If I search for "Grand Ridge" as two words, it returns me all activities with either "Grand" or "Ridge". I don't know why this has been implemented to use the OR combination of entered words. That is not how people do searches. The more words I enter the narrower search should become. But with the activity search that is opposite. Please change that.
Searching for partial words may also be a good idea, but I suspect, based on how fast the search is, Strava probably uses indexing of words, which would make the partial search impossible.
Like other search functions on other sites, it would a huge advantage to be able to search my activities using many of the available statistics and characteristics of the activity. For example, find all rides with max HR > 160, or all rides with average power < 120, or distance > 50 but less then 75, or all rides within 10% of my FTP, or all rides with over 2% of climbing, or ...
Or, of course, any combination of these using AND, or OR.
Under My Activities you can filter your runs by which shoe you were using. You cannot filter by which activities do not have a shoe yet. This would be very convenient to use when you want to find all activities where you forgot to add shoes.
My 'advanced search' capabilities has been merged with this idea of improved word searches. I disagree that my idea is similar to the merged idea, as mine is much more comprehensive, but there you go.
I guess my suggestion will get hidden amongst the comments and not get noticed.
God **bleep** yes how is this not a thing? Literally planned a ride based on the fact i thought I'd ridden a mountain but it didnt show on my activities. Only to find 'Buff' didn't show 'Buffalo'. Seems like a basic search process many people would do.
PLEASE FIX THIS! Searching by part of a word is a basic search feature even my 10 year old website has.
Just being able to search for activities by location would be helpful. I can't search for past rides I've done in San Francisco unless it's in the title. I need to remember the unclever name I came up with or the date.
As PeteMacMTB suggested, it would be fantastic not to have to know the exact date of activities to find some rides. So, I definitely support the idea of this filter 🙂 I'd love to be able to filter activities by location to easily find specific rides I've done somewhere.
I want to be able to find a past activity of my own, by location instead of by name or date. I often can remember where I did something instead of when or what I named it (if I named it). Searching on a map specifically, would be most useful.
This is helpful for myself if I want to repeat a route or share a route with a friend.
When I search for a race name in my activities, for example "Chuckanut 50K", the search returns me all activities that have either "Chuckanut" or "50K" in their names. That makes little sense to me. Entering more words into the search should result in narrowing down the search.
Alternatively, it might return all results that match either "Chuckanut" or "50K" but in that case the search results must be ranked in a way that all activities that match both words are at the top of the search.
Currently, when I search for "Chuckanut 50k", the first 3 activities are: 1) Chuckanut Middle 18M (actually 19) 2) Briddle Trails Winter Running Festival 50K 3) Speedgoat 50K
The activity that I am actually looking for is on the 4th row, but only because I ran it just a year ago. There are more activities with "Chuckanut 50K" in their title but I have to scroll through multiple pages of search results to find them because I ran them much further in the past.
So it looks like the search returns activities that match ANY searched word and sorts them by date in reverse order. The desired behavior should be to have activities that match ALL searched words at the top.
