Maybe that would be better than thinking that one is searching all of MBS and getting no usable results. When I go to MonkeybreadSoftware.xxx and there is a button that says "Search Site" I think it is not unreasonable to assume that the documentation is part of the "site".
Another approach would be to make the two sites visually different in some ways, so the user is aware that they are on a different site with different search domains. Right now the two sites are virtually identical and there are no visual cues that the search domain has changed (other than the URL). Make the search field/button look different, put it in a different place, add a caption that says "Search Documentation", have two search buttons with different captions describing what each one searches, etc. In other words, don't assume that users are mind readers :) Thanks, julia Date: Sun, 12 May 2013 20:23:11 +0200 From: Christian Schmitz <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [MBS] How to efficiently search in the documentation To: MBS Real Studio Plugin List <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Message-ID: <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Am 12.05.2013 um 13:22 schrieb Julia Truchsess <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>: Wow, that is totally un-obvious. The search field "Site Search" and its caption are identical on both sites. The fact that the "main" site has a ".de" domain and the "documentation" site has a ".net" domain is the only clue that you're somewhere else, and you'd need to be a mind reader to guess that the "Site Search" does something totally different on each. So you would prefer a search going over all our websites instead of one for the one your at?
