i have to disagree with this one. i much prefer that search is performed in the window i'm looking at. spawning new windows is annoying. i'm sure there's a way to make it nice and clear that you're viewing search results. i'd suggest that the search bar becomes more prominent, which could also provide more room for filters, etc. i think mint.com handles this pretty well, though it could be called out more prominently. i also really like their additive search approach. if you're viewing a filtered list, searching again further filters that list, and you can remove the filter terms selectively. http://grab.by/1ZUA > > 2) If your search string is quoted more than once, only return the first time > it's quoted.
