Hi John,
Search should work the same across all app areas. The results should
return in a table view. We're assuming in the Beta timeframe, that we
won't have a split-pane calendar + table view that can move in sync.
As a result, it makes more sense to display search results for
calendar items in a table than on a calendar.
If you're searching in the Calendar app area, when the user deletes
the search / ends the search session, the calendar view returns.
Apologies, that should have been in the spec.
Modeless search sounds great, but isn't a requirement to get it up
and running.
Thx for the catch, Mimi

Hi Mimi:
I was reading the searching spec and had a few questions:
I think most people prefer modeless UI. So what do you think about
getting rid of your search mode and just letting the user click in
the search box and type their search string -- always keeping the
search results up to date with whatever they typed?
I noticed that you didn't mention that search should work in the
Calendar view. Is this an oversight? I could imagine it being
useful. If it isn't an oversight maybe we should remove the search
box in Calendar view.
Should we maintain a separate search string for each application area?
John
