DXR's current front page goes away, replaced with a redirect to a browse view of a default tree. Breadcrumbs make clear where you are in the tree. The filters menu as pictured here is newer than the question-mark-and-down-arrow in the other figures: it provides a larger click target and, for the keen of sight, a label. | DXR's current front page goes away, replaced with a redirect to a browse view of a default tree.

If we need further documentation on the query syntax, don't add a help link on the page. Instead, stick the help link (or embed the help itself) in the filters menu: that's what you're looking for help on anyway. You'll scroll down the list of things, they won't answer your question, and then keep scrolling and hit the help. Or, if people slam the menu closed before they hit the bottom, put the help link on the right side, spanning all the rows. See the Scraps canvas in the OmniGraffle for some presentation ideas. | |||
