[WikiEN-l] Updated new search interface on the prototype

Hi, everyone. We have received problem reports and feedback that search queries were truncated sometimes and the search suggestions were hard to read or chose due to the limited width. We apologize for introducing broken behaviors in using the search. In order to mitigate spreading the problem, the new search function was disabled on May 15, and the search field was increased by fifty percent on May 18. We are aware that this temporary fix still does not accommodate the search for long article names. We have updated the new search interface to address the issues above and it is currently staged on the the prototype [1]. This update addresses the reported issues such as truncation of search queries [2] and the search suggestions are cut-off [3]. Prototypes in various languages are also available here[4]. Please give it a spin and let us know your feedback. If the functionality is confirmed solid, we would like to re-enable the new search feature later this week. Thanks a bunch in advance, - Naoko User Experience Programs @ WMF [1] http://prototype.wikimedia.org/en.wikipedia.org [2] https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23498 [3] https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23558 [4] http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Prototype -- Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate
