Thread:Talk:LiquidThreads/Redesign/Search Results Behavior

This question is for Andrew:

How much leeway do we have with regards to search results?

While the search works, it does not work as the user might expect it to work. This is a weird thing because many of its problems are tied up with the functionality of the core MediaWiki search system.

I'm thinking of two eventual angles of approach:


 * 1) Keeping search results in page via AJAX - This would mean that we get our results back as threaded elements? This requires some Deep Thought.
 * 2) Hide the Ugly Bits in current Search Results - this would possibly mean rewriting huge bits of the search results page.

Clearly, however, there is no pressing need as this feature currently works. Changes to it can be pushed to the future.
