Search: new designs for search location drop down
Three issues with the current search UI:
- When you search, there's no indication of the location which is being searched
- There's no easy or obvious way to search your entire computer
- The search entry can get very wide
I recently worked on a new design which will eliminate all of these, with the introduction of a new search location drop down:
This could be a powerful way that we can expose more of our search capabilities.
There are some tricky aspects of the design which will require discussion and potential changes, in particular the styling of the button and the adaptive behaviour.
More details can be found in the latest search mockups.
