Jeremy - fantastic! After a very quick try, I think it looks good and similar to how I imagined it. I notice the matching titles list appears after I've typed 3 letters. I think this is a bit late considering how even two letters can zoom in on very few titles. I would suggest designing it so that *when* there are a certian number of titles that one can "see without looking" (3-5?) they appear.
Also, the later the title match list appears the greater is the risk that you see the titles in both lists. IMO this is mostly an aesthetic issue. However, it is only "ugly" when you actually *see* the identical titles in both places at the same time. My personal preference would probably be to keep the doubles for as long as the top list is so long that I risk missing the title there and scroll (again >4-5 items?). Once the top list is short enough AND if there are doubles visible at the same time, then the doubles should be removed from the bottom list. I think this behaviour will be intuitive and unquestioned by a user... unless he discovers it at which point it'll be a bit mysterious... <:-) On Thursday, November 6, 2014 10:02:25 PM UTC+1, Jeremy Ruston wrote: > > I agree that the search result ordering should move title matches to the > top.
