Actually I wrote this. What is means is that in an "ideal" scenario,
when you search it searches across all collections and basically
shows you how many search results are returned per collection ie:
(10). So I might have my work collection selected and search for
"QA", my list view would change to show the search results in my work
collection. I would also see if there are any other matches in other
collection ie: Office Calendar. If I click on one of the other
collections, it shows me those search results.
It's been a while since we discussed this but I believe that Andi
told me that this is a) hard and b) has performance implications. We
weren't sure if we were going to be able to do this. This means that
if you do a search it just searches the selected collection. If you
click on another one, it automatically punts you out of search mode.
I guess I was assuming that we could only handle the one-collection-
at-a-time search for Preview.

Hi Dan,
My other comment is that I didn't immediately clue into the
necessity of
clicking the [X] in the search field to switch back to a normal
view. I
first tried clicking on other collections and appbar view buttons
and
was a little surprised and distressed when nothing seemed to happen.
Maybe we should make the search results go away when these types to
things are clicked on?
I think what's supposed to happen when you click on other
collections is
that the list of search results is supposed to change (filtered to
only
items in that collection). That doesn't appear to be in the code
yet.
If that was working, do you think you would've been less confused?
Maybe Mimi could clarify this. The spec reads:
"Ideally, we would like this feature to always search all
collections in the sidebar (within an app bar area) and return the
search result numbers for each one displayed in the sidebar ie: Home
(3), Work(10). Your currently selected collection would stay the
same but results for all of them would be calculated and the totals
displayed. "
