One case is where the search terms you want to enter are derived from the content you are currently looking at, for example a particular commit. Having to move away from that page to get to the search page means you will either have to remember, or copy/paste (but this is only possible if the search terms you need are already adjacent on the existing page, which is not always true). > > But you can search several different things from the input field and the > search page makes it clear what you are searching and how you can change the > search. > > It doesn't do a very good job at it, but it is easier to improve the > functionality on a page than when it has to be done where it can be put on > any page without using any space or resources. I feel we'll need to revisit the way we display the search box after the search page itself has been improved :) Best regards, Thomas _______________________________________________ kallithea-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sfconservancy.org/mailman/listinfo/kallithea-general
