[IxDA Discuss] searching within browse

[Jim Drew]

I guess under Search, because this is a Search modifying a Browse, rather than a Browse modifying a Search.

Or consider going off the board to some other means of labelling it.  When people are filtering in two dimensions, it is easy for them to lose track of what they are doing.

One app I've worked on allows both Search and Browse at once, done from opposite sides of the catalog listing, and we found that users forgot that they had a search in force that was limiting things, so they couldn't understand the limited results (no results) being returned when they browsed.  They repeatedly added an item to the catalog but it never was browsable because of the Search that was blocking it from being shown.
