Saw a form recently with search-as-you-type that included a fake button that when pressed would write "Search Complete" to the screen, but had no other function, for users who didn't comprehend search as you type.
- talmand 11y agoI would have to link that up to analytics just to see how many people clicked on it.
- hodwik 11y agoYeah, I'm not sure. It was pretty hilarious. I got a bug-fix from the form developer that his button wasn't working, and I kept trying to explain to him that it couldn't possibly work, it didn't do anything. Finally he explained that if the user had clicked the fake button already, and then changed their search to a search that reported the same results, it wasn't pretending to search again, and this was causing a lot of bug reports from his client. I helped him rewrite the fake button to make a bigger deal about (fake) searching again, and apparently the bug reports went away.
