I guess that i hides when the click /focus goes out of the bar.. is that so?

I don't really understand what eggfindbar does apart from take an awful lot of code to show a very simple set of widgets?

And if it doesn't have the close button, i presume it can't be hidden?

For Evince we are sharing the eggfindbar [1] with Epiphany, you might want to take a look at that code, it doesn't have that close button. Here's [2] a screenshot of what searching in Evince looks like.

I don't know that having two search bars would necessarily be confusing for people in the single message view. Of course in the preview pane I agree you might want to do something different.

Two search bars could be confusing. The x button is ugly too.

Performance could be a problem, if you wanted to have a type-as-you-go search, which presumably you do. Currently for the match highlighting (for 'all matches', not the 'current match'), we have to re-render the entire message. That feature would probably have to be removed for the interactive search (i think we can still have it for the message list search value).

    Guys,
  
  


I have implemented firefox style search bar in evolution. I have attached a screenshot of that. Of course it works well :- ) (Except the previous button). It also inherits the old issues like, 'doesnt know what to do when preview pane is off' sort of problems.



I want your opinon on this, so that i can improve further and put it in.



Thanks

Srini.
