Hi Gerard, Quote:
I now have to move my mouse cursor all the way to the bottom of the window to click the "<Back to search" button instead of staing at the top and clicking in the "search text" box.
| We anticipated this problem, and there are two solutions already in the beta. 1) You can also click the 'Search' tab at the top to immediately return to searching. 2) After a normal search is performed, you can immediately start typing to do another search. Quote:
If you were to move the filters to either a separate window or a slide-out drawer that could be kept hidden for those who don't use the feature, it would go a long way toward enhancing usability and allowing the search features to be moved to a much more space efficient layout.
| We also anticipated that some people may not like the filters. You can turn them off at any time by choosing View -> Show/Hide -> Search, and unchecking the filters option.
We'll likely take another look at the whole layout for another release, but for now we're going to stick with this. |
