--- Comment #5 from Ichiro <[email protected]> 2010-06-15 04:15:30 UTC --- Thank you Adam. I assume by "fixed" you mean that when ENTER is pressed, the search will always be done on whatever is in the text box at that time, irrespective of the list selection. Also, if I interpret your comment correctly, you did _not_ implement the change whereby the text box is filled with the selection when moving with the arrow keys, and the reason is that you don't know what to do when it comes to the "containing..." item. My first thought is that the search bar is being given too many responsibilities. Not having read the manual, my understanding is that the "containing..." feature will display search results even if there is an exact match with an article title. I would say this would be best done with a check box, probably in a separate "Advanced Search" page (a link for which is customary and missing). If there is no easy way to get rid of this "containing..." item, then we could come up with a special "Search:" or "Containing:" namespace and just put "Search:foo" or "Containing:foo" in the text box when "containing..." is reached (by keyboard). Or, although I appreciate this would be quite a drastic change, we can add a link ("Did you want to search for articles containing 'foo'?") when reaching an article via an exact search match. A final horrible but easy work-around is to simply disallow users to reach the "containing..." item via the keyboard, making it "unselectable". None of these alternatives is perfect, but I think each of them is better than ignoring the problem. People (especially keyboard users) _will_ come back after your fix, complaining that search suggestions broke ("Type 'pizza', arrow down twice, hit ENTER, I am taken to 'Pizza', but I wanted 'Pizza Hut'! This used to work!!1!") -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
