"we have no evidence that there is any increase in usability by
changing the text in the text-box as the user arrows through the suggestions"
Please re-read the Description of this bug. This is still a problem, and
therefore I am reopening this bug.
It explains fairly clearly that by having the text box auto-populated when the
user arrows through the suggestions can save a non-negligible amount of
keystrokes (6 in this particular case).
This is still a problem, and therefore I am reopening this bug.
I don't think comparisons to Google (and Firefox, and Windows Explorer, and
Internet Explorer) can be shrugged off like this.
I don't see how this control needs to be unique (= include a "containing..."
item) when other more standard GUI solutions are available, and especially when
introducing that item decreases usability of other aspects/responsibilities of
the control.
Incidentally, I just noticed that IE7 offers the same functionality in a
backwards-compatible way. The way they do it is similar to one of the
suggestions in Bug 23949:
"
we could come up with a special "Search:" or "Containing:" namespace and just
put
"Search:foo" or "Containing:foo" in the text box when "containing..." is
reached (by keyboard).
