[Rearchitecture] Conflicting Results Behavior for Advanced Search
closed
Amrayu78
Advanced Search used to work like this, all results showed on the page itself: https://mydramalist.com/search?q=otonari&otonari
Current implementation has two conflicting results:
- Title search shows results in the dropdown (not an optimal user experience since users have to scroll and they are losing valuable additional information compared to on-page results)
- Using the checkboxes in the left pane, shows results on the page itself.
I think we should stick to showing results on the page itself.
I've blocked most bots from searching the site anyway with Cloudflare.
Please also add a way to clear the search result when something is typed. I have to delete to remove the dropdown from blocking the rest of the page.

Max Romanchenko: I know this is not a bug, but I feel advanced search has conflicting results (shows 2 different views of results).

Amrayu78 Did I understand you correctly that we are going back to the classic search, right? In that case there will be no drop-down list, and the search results will be displayed below.
I agree with you that it is probably more convenient. I just wanted something new :)

Max Romanchenko: For certain use cases the dropdown results list makes sense (like for sitewide search in the nav bar).
For Advanced Search, I think the user's goal is to go through results and browse. The results give more context, so it makes more sense that the results are always shown on the page itself.
