Tell HN: Make the search function more prominent
Right now it's at the bottom of the page. I think it should be in the top bar so that people can see it when they go to submit an article or ask a question. Having it be more prominent will remind people to search first I think and will cut down on repeated submissions.
- RNCTX 6y agoCurious whether submit-before-search and comment-before-read are states of being rather than side effects of user interface prominence. I suspect they are, but I also suspect there are UI researchers on here who can tell me!
- memexy 6y agoAvailability makes a difference. I'm not a UI/UX researcher but I've noticed I use functionality that is prominent and forget functionality that is "out of reach".
