The discussion was in the context of the idea of moving the Search box to the header instead of leaving it in the Toolbox. If we move the search box to the header, then the questions raised should be considered. The concern is the difference between the two buttons is not clear, and if we move the box to the header, it looks cluttered.... which is what we were discussing. Please read the rest of the thread. > Another lost functionality I just found: If a page exists with the exact > name you typed into the search box, you can not accomplish an explicit > text search for this word (i tried "faq"). Yes you can. Type faq in the search box and hit enter. You're taken direct to the page: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/FAQ This is the Go functionality which is still there, it is not lost. The button is hidden, not removed.
