As a reader, I want to be able to easily scan the search result page to easily locate the information I am looking for.
This work is focused on improving the layout of the page as part of https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T306626
Requirements:
Design specs:
| Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resolved | None | T307038 [Placeholder EPIC] SDAW Search Improvements | |||
| Resolved | CBogen | T306626 [EPIC] Basic UI/UX improvements to the special:search page | |||
| Declined | None | T306884 Increase length of special:search result text snippet | |||
| Invalid | None | T307066 Interim update of existing special:search CSS and minor changes to sister projects structure |
As I am working through the design details I am finding that less text is better than more text for scanning content. And since we have quick view, users will naturally get more context. Hence I think we should close this ticket for now and have a task to re-evaluate the snippets later and figure out what changes will be most beneficial to the user at the time.
If we close this then could we capture snippet length investigation as a separate task in backlog so it is not lost?
