--- Comment #9 from Roan Kattouw <[email protected]> 2010-06-16 10:18:19 UTC --- I don't really see much of a problem with the "Containing" option here. If you type in, say, "Tur", you would get a list of stuff like "Turkey", "Turkish March", ... , "Containing Tur". As you arrow down over "Turkey", that text would be put in the textbox, but "Containing Tur" would stay put and not change to "Containing Turkey". Then when you arrow down over "Containing Tur", we'd put "Tur" back into the textbox. This sounds like a perfectly intuitive workflow to me, and it wouldn't be hard to tweak the code so it works the way I described. Another consideration: do we expect that novice users will use the arrow down key much, if at all? I personally expect most people to just use their mouse and forget about the arrow keys. Just this weekend, I observed someone trying to search for "Guy Fawkes movie" by typing "Guy" and clicking the suggestion for "Guy Fawkes", which to her surprise took her to the Guy Fawkes article, even though she was already on that page, having gotten there in exactly the same way. This shows that the behavior of going to the page when clicking a suggestion is perceived as intuitive or unintuitive depending on what you want it to do at the time :D but also that Jane Visitor just uses the mouse and doesn't think about the arrow keys. -- 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
