Google ruined search, by which I mean they made it so good that everyone expects search to be as good as Google.
When building an inexpensive app, the client will often ask for search. The UI designer will oblige and add a search bar to the app. Neither will give much thought to what the search will actually do except to say "make it work like Google".
- draw_down 5y agoSeeing that search bar in mock-ups is so triggering. It implies 500 follow-up questions about how the search should function in different scenarios, none of which has been considered in depth by the designer nor the product owner. And if you ask them all you’ll be considered “difficult”.
