Talk:DXR UI Refresh

Basic Search

Auto-checking case-sensitivity can be confusing, especially if that was a typo and the user later removes the upper case - not unchecking gives unexpected behaviour (adding and then removing isn't the same as nothing), but unchecking is also unexpected if the check was added manually. --Mook (talk) 22:35, 25 July 2013 (PDT)
Maybe move the advanced disclosure toggle to the right of the bottom of the logo (and have the status text go to the right of that), for a taller click area? I don't like to click targets less than about 20px tall... --Mook (talk) 22:35, 25 July 2013 (PDT)
If we really end up with >1000 results, do we still want to show all of them? (Contrast with what MXR does; this is mostly a "arghh my browser is too slow I should stop using Firefox" thing) --Mook (talk) 22:35, 25 July 2013 (PDT)

Yay for having the advanced UI always available (just initially hidden).
Would defaulting to searching in the current scope be useful? (The button can instead clear / reset the scope) --Mook (talk) 22:35, 25 July 2013 (PDT)

I find that the extra spacing between path components in the header makes it look nothing like a path; would it be possible to not have that excess padding, and rely only on text colour to make it look like the parts are clickable? The thing about copying is a good point though... but I'm personally more likely to copy from the address bar, on account of the keyboard hotkey to get there (I have no idea why I still use Alt+D) --Mook (talk) 22:35, 25 July 2013 (PDT)
The path pinning - heck, maybe even the search box pinning - should be using CSS media queries, and don't pin if the window height is too small? --Mook (talk) 22:35, 25 July 2013 (PDT)
