Reduce amount of scrolling and clicks needed to get to the search form
Closed, ResolvedPublicFeature

Description

Why

  • If you want to reach the main search form from a search results page, it is a little buried. It is a hyperlink at the BOTTOM of the search results page.
  • We can unbury this by including something at the top of the page, reducing clicks.

What

  • Idea 1 - Add a link to the top of the page, and make it a blue button, increasing visibility.
  • Idea 2 - Just include the entire search form at the top of the page. It can be made more compact than presently, so that it doesn't detract from the search results. Maybe put all 3 of these on one line:

Event Timeline

Idea 1 sounds good. But this will be a link and not a button. UI-wise, buttons are not meant for actions which do not change the current page, are not part of a form, and navigate the user away from the current page.
