Thanks for this report!
1. If I move mouse over the search button, and mouse pointer then sits beneath the search strip, after typing one character the live search area pops up, and one of the result lines receives the mouse focus, so subsequent keypresses are ignored. Could keypresses be passed to the search widget if mouse is anywhere within the live search panel? Especially annoying if the next keypress is backspace, causing a browser back navigation!
What browser are you using? haven't seen this.
2. Having typed something and lost focus, clicking in search box causes the live search results panel to disappear, and for the exist text to get highlighted, so another mouse click to avoid new keypresses overwriting existing text.
Yep, definitely something I wanted to fix, but somehow forgot. Must have been the "browse contributor role" discussion distracting me :-P
3. What is the sort order for determining the top 5 matches in each category to display in live search? I'm not seeing the same top 5 order in the normal search results list (which is alphabetical). eg. A search for "king" returns:
The live search doesn't sort explicitely. Thus it might be time of addition to the collection. Or ID (which might result in the same order anyway). I'm not sure about the search results page. That's the result of a massive SQL query compared to the live searchwhich might influence the order. I can look into this, but think it's not too high on my list as neither really looks like it's sorted in an expected way.
4. Mouse-over albums in live search causes some of the mini artwork images to slightly move around/flicker. It looks like some artwork images to reposition one pixel higher?
Browser? I don't see this in FF/Safari on Mac.
5. The live search results panel looks nice, but is a bit thin. I get lots of result visibly cropped - can scroll horizontally to read, but the grey strip down left hand side doesn't move (artwork does).
Heh... I've had it larger, but for whatever reason decided it was too wide. But it's a simple change.
6. The Artists/Albums/Songs search buttons in live search could have Play/Add buttons, as shortcuts to the resultant "All Songs" play/add functions? Note for Song results, All Songs is on the top of the results list, but All Songs is at the bottom for Artists and Albums results. A bit inconsistent, although perhaps more useful for song results only?
Hmm... I don't get the usefulness of this feature... "Let me listen to all tracks with 'king' in the title"?
7. In Advanced Search page, the live search button in page title doesn't expand to show search panel on mouse over. Only appears if I click on it.
Advanced Search... yeah, haven't been there in a while. Are you using it? If so, what parameters are you usually using? While investigating the useless index case I thought that some of the indices were used in Advanced Search only.
