This is a problem I have also noticed and it should be fixed.

In the results, show the search field with the previous search text filled out, with a button to resubmit. Right now you have to go back up, click the icon in the header, and re-type your search. IMHO that’s a really confusing path, and when you don’t get the results you want it’s extra-discouraging to find that your search isn’t in the field and has to be copy-pasted. Having this field at the top of results also gives you a perfect place to add documentation and/or filtering tools.

Currently when you enter a search, the search field retracts and the search item disappears. This is an example of an anti-pattern that arises because of not responding to explicit user requests.

Instead, keep the search field open when a search is entered, and retain the search term in the field. Then if someone wants to change the spelling or enter a new search, it is right there already.

The search field should only close if a user requests it, or if they go to a new page.

  • Keep search field open with search term retained when a search is entered.
