Sure, you can't be successful with every user. If they refuse to type in search terms, I don't see how substituting "Go" for "Search" improves anything.

- reaperducer 7y agoSure, you can't be successful with every user For the types of web sites I build (healthcare), I don't get to just ignore a certain group of people because they're inconvenient, or don't fit into my assumptions about how people should work or behave. I don't see how substituting "Go" for "Search" improves anything. The research shows it works. I'm going with the research, in large part because it involved actual testing on actual people and not just people in cubicles making presumptions.

I've experienced it as well, where the page literally says right there what to do, and I get calls from confused users not sure what to do. I want to say "Did you read what it says 2 inches above where you clicked?" But I never do and am just polite to them.
