Searchbar - UI confusion
Feature Summary
When searching in mails, one selects the account on the left, then clicks on the search bar (on top of the mail list) and enters a search term. After that, the search term pops up silently on the left, directly under the accounts/inboxes geary manages currently- the search term stays on top of the mail list.
The design UI communicates to me, that the searchterm affects the items shown under it, it doesn't suggest, that the search term is somehow account related (even if it makes sense on a technical level).
If one now selects another account on the left, the search term still stays the same- but geary doens't perform a search.
How would you like it to work
- I don't think, a temporary searchterm should be shown in the inbox panel on the left at all, and the interaction of search-terms and accounts need to bee communicated somehow. Additionally, I wouldn't know how to perform a "account-independent" search based on the info, the UI provides me.
Relevant links, screenshots, etc.
Here is the "worst case scenario": Search term activated in inbox number 2, then I clicked on inbox number 1- now the UI seems off (since the searchterm doesn't affect the items under it at all).
But, tbh: I love geary40. I almost use it daily now, and the design is pretty fantastic so far. Thank you all so much for your work.
