The way it works today is that search results return results across
all collections in the sidebar (but not within the app area). Each
collection shows the number of matches in that collection. From
reading the spec it was not obvious to me that the search results
would be filtered by the selected collection and app area. However, I
think this makes more sense than the way I read the spec, so I'll
look into doing that.

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. "
