The problem with KDE is that / is not intuitive (I wasn;t even aware of the / ). In fact at first I thought you had to put a slash in the url bar. But you have to click in the document first wihich emans that you have to know to put the focus in the document, and you need to know the / command even exists.
Firefox is different. I didn't need to go hunting in a manual or an on- line document to see the feature. It was there. Plain and simple. Konqueror uses control-f (and the slash). Control-F is the old style pop up. In fact - maybe what Konequeror is lacking is that there is nothing in the normal search box to tell you about the / command at all. From rom a user standpoint, I didn't need to be a power user to get it to work. On this feature it wins hands down over Konqi and IE. The best UI's are the ones where the user doesn't have to think about it. It is just there. The UI is a tool for me to manipulate my computer, not a mechanism for the software to manipulate me. Konqi also lacks the highlight (for all occurrences), unless there is another special key sequence I have to hit for that too? Mike On Fri, 2004-10-22 at 17:11 -0600, Andrew J.
