XF 2.3 Are the dropdown search results supposed to differ greatly from the [Search] button results ?

[Digital Doctor]

The left sided results are from typing in the search area. I wanted to find the Snog form addon, so I went to the Resources Tab and selected to search in the Resources section.

Since the results were not helpful.

I clicked on the search button.

why would the results differ so much ?

Is this because the search button re-executes my search but ignores I have decided to search just in Resources ?

Does this make sense to the end user ? They purposely tailored their search, and then it is ignored by design ?

title searching. Just in 2.x addons.

is there are reason I can't find it ?

The dropdown shows results from titles only.

If I toggle [Resources, Everywhere]

should these results change ?



I think toggling resources / everywhere should result in another query. Alternatively you could prevent the user from using the dropdown.

apparently forms is in the addon title, and searching for form isn't enough.

The dropdown shows results from titles only.

Should the dropdown reflect that ?
