I'm not entirely certain that this IS a feature request (and if it is, it probably doesn't belong on this list) but what does everyone think about changing the default behavior of the search box? As of now, if I type something into the box and hit <enter> (or carriage return, or whatever) the behavior is as if I had pressed the search button. I suggest changing this to acting is if I had pressed the GO button.

Agreed. I would also like to have the Search/Go on pages other than the index page, rather than just search on other pages (saves having to reload the index all the time.
I'm confused. When I press return, it behaves like I'd clicked Go.
Also, the Search pane is on every page.
Unless these changes were made today in response to these suggestions. But I thought it had always been this way... :-)

Ah, I see I misdescribed the problem: The reson I thought the go button only appeared on the home page is that there are separate go and search buttons with the default skin, but when I log in (Cologne Blue skin) there is only a search button (and hitting enter does a *search*). Of course the only page see frequently while looged out is index.
So I rephrase my request to "please could we have a go button in the cologne blue skin". Or an option which is independent of skins.

OK, I installed it on http://test.wikipedia.org (need to log in and turn on CB, of course). The reason I didn't just commit it to CVS is that the Go/Search buttons have to break into the next line in the quickbar, making it even longer.
Change it to this, or leave it "as is"?

That looks OK. I noticed that there are many advanced features on test that wikipedia doesn't have, but the last time I went on, they were very similar. When will these be implimented on Wikipedia? -LDan

As soon as consensus is achived about using them, or in plain English, "never"...
