You have to type "/search" in front of your search string.
Huh. For no particular reason, I thought that the box would
"default" to a search function. That is, a string that didn't
start with a slash would be interpreted as a search string.
That seems an improvement in the design, making search more
discoverable and saving keystrokes, with no loss in function.
Apologies if this particular design has already been rejected.
That's what I first thought too. I even switched the default to
search instead of entering items. Later, I learned that I had it
wrong. The thinking was that entering items is more common than
searching. So I switched it back to requiring /search.
I think that most people would probably prefer search be the default.
Quick entry, after all is a shortcut, so even if you never figure out
how to use it you'll still be able to enter items in Chandler.
