Quick UI gripe - I'm not crazy about the "text inside the search box" UI thing. I used it myself in a few places, but found that lots of people automatically click on the search box, and their text disappears, meaning they have no idea what they're searching for. Much better to just add a label before the search box.
Another option is to keep the text until the users actually starts typing, but I haven't tested that option too much - I'm afraid it might be confusing for users, who don't realize they can start typing to clear the text.
- jagtesh 16y agoWow. Indeed, it is a bit confusing. A much better way would be adding a small label at the top. But I'm afraid the whole UI will become cluttered with several "small labels" creating a WTF UX :(
- Qz 16y agoI think it would still look clean if you just move the inside the box text on top or bottom of the search box.
