Prevent Advanced Parameters Displaying in Search Box

hi, just a little confusing when the "intitle" parameter appears for a second in the search box. I moved my mouse toward it, and it switched to the "Advanced Parameters" section.

Maybe some way to prevent it flashing in the search box?

Moreover, the whole interface redraws after loading. Disruptive/distracting. Pretty sure you can use CSS to hide the old interface, or javascript or server-code to prevent page-rendering until it's ready. Which incidentally may speed up rendering, since rendering the old interface takes time.

That's mostly because this is still experimental. Doing experiments in Javascript only is easier than having to do them perfectly in PHP and JS in the first iteration.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. I created a ticket about this, so we have it on our todo-list and will look into it.
