https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23558 Amir E. Aharoni amir.ahar...@mail.huji.ac.il changed: What|Removed |Added Priority|Normal |High Severity|enhancement |major --- Comment #13 from Amir E. Aharoni amir.ahar...@mail.huji.ac.il 2011-04-29 19:13:27 UTC --- I was about to close this bug, because it generated no interest since full-text searching was fixed, but today i noticed something that made me think that maybe it should be fixed. The current mobile Wikipedia is really only for Wikipedia. I tried using Wiktionary today from my phone, and i couldn't run a search - i can write the word in the search box, but my phone doesn't have a way to send an Enter-like event. This is true for my Samsung Monte, for Symbian-based Nokia phones and maybe for many others. On the iPhone the SimpleSeach drop-down works, although not without issues. On the Mobile Wikipedia this is solved by putting near the input box a button that actually runs the search and can be pressed by the Symbian mouse-like pointer, by the Samsung touchscreen or by whatever there is in the other phones. Until there's a new mobile WikiMedia app, this button should be added to Wikimedia projects. Marking this as High priority - it's nearly impossible to search non-Wikipedia projects on many mobile devices until it's solved. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

However, you do not need to type Special:Search into the box – just click the magnifier icon without typing anything (with the empty search box). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

However, you do not need to type Special:Search into the box – just click the magnifier icon without typing anything (with the empty search box). Interesting, thanks. I tried pressing the magnifier when there was text in the box and it did the same thing as pressing Enter - Go and not Search. Pressing Enter in an empty box also brings me to Special:Search. This may point at a possible solution: * Pressing the Enter key and clicking the magnifier in an empty should bring the user to Special:Search. * Pressing the Enter key in a box with text should do Go if a page by that name exists and Search if there's no such page. * Pressing the magnifier in a box with text should do Search in any case. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

Among many things, it will have a direct impact on the complexity of instructional materials associated with Bookshelf and the Public Policy Initiative. It seems to me that there is a pretty standard and functional way to address this: simply put a small text link saying Advanced Search next to the search button. See ebay.com, britannica.com, corbisimages.com I'm sure there's been some usability research done around this sort of feature, so I'll just state this as my personal opinion: a small advanced search button seems to present all the functionality of the former Go/Search setup, while eliminating the confusing choice. For whatever it's worth, I discussed this usability issue in depth about a year ago with Pete Kaminski, who has a pretty extensive background and reputation in the realm of wikis and usability, and he agreed with this approach. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
