Search Demo

This took about an hour. I'm really emphasizing the fluid design here. The search itself is a bit slow simply because I'm running live across an internet connection from a client to Lotus911's server. If this were local it would be pretty much instant.

1 - Very nice Nathan. Keep these things coming. I think you and Chris are truly motivating many Notes developers to re-think their Notes UI's. It's time for another podcast with you and Chris.

2 - Thanks, Nathan, for that kind of work. Yours and Chris' presentation really taught me a new way of designing UIs.
Just yesterday I was trying to perform a search feature this one. Could you add some code or how-to, please? What's is that, an embedded folder with the search results?

Thanks again.

3 - Really nice. But I have a usability question with this one. Is it possible to start the search just by pressing the enter key like a search on a web site. I tried to find a solution for this, but I could not find a reasonable way of doing it.

4 - @2 - See my latest blog post for the source code for the actual search technique.

@3 - There's a javascript technique you could probably work out where you monitor the field for a carriage return, since you don't actually get the onKeyPress events in the client. But otherwise, I don't think so.

However, you could make it so the search is executed if you leave the field, which means TAB would do the same thing.

5 - All I see is a video where the word "layers" is typed and results are returned. What are you trying to show and how does it work?

I'm coming here from your post on Acting on multiple documents in an embedded view ({ Link } which I need to get working. But I need to start here.

Thanks,
-Jeff
