I don't think that would be very clear. "Link to a page" doesn't really make sense in a search context. What Trac links are to be understood as in this context is a way to jump straight to content without having to see the search results. Maybe we just don't need this at all, just all the placeholder 'Search anything'. - Joe > > > On Thu, Jul 25, 2013 at 4:01 PM, Joachim Dreimann < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> On 25 July 2013 15:29, James Wood <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> On this one, I noticed that the search box already has >> placeholder="Search >>> all products.
