Help message for Find command is ambiguous and unclear

[brianchoon]

When I input an incorrect usage of the find command, for example, without specifying anything after find, I am greeted with this help message:

This seems to suggest that find can only be used on tags, as there really exists a tag field.

However, from the user guide, it is apparent that the find command can be used on many other parameters, e.g. name, gender etc. This is plucked from the UG:

I suggest that the help message for the find command be updated to be clearer and to signal to the user that they can search for attributes other than tag.

❓ Issue severity

Team chose [severity.VeryLow]
Originally [severity.Low]

• I disagree

Reason for disagreement: Thank you for your response. I would like to quote the severity level on the CS2103T website, which states:

severity.VeryLow : A flaw that is purely cosmetic and does not affect usage e.g., a typo/spacing/layout/color/font issues in the docs or the UI that doesn't affect usage. Only cosmetic problems should have this label.

severity.Low : A flaw that is unlikely to affect normal operations of the product. Appears only in very rare situations and causes a minor inconvenience only.

The flaw I pointed out is not purely cosmetic, and has an impact on the usage of the command. Therefore, I do not believe it falls into the category of severity.VeryLow.

Instead, I still stand by my original category of severity.Low, as it is true that this flaw is unlikely to affect how I use your product. However, it will cause a minor inconvenience if users were to misinterpret the command, and only be limited to the feature of finding by tag.
