one search not 3
can we make it so we have just one search? instead of having to choose what we're searching for. I'd just as soon type 'xeno' into the search and get my author, without selecting xeno from the search options categorizing the results would be fine
I think there's value in being able to search all fields at once, but I also see some value in being able to constrain the search to just authors etc. Maybe a 4th button, which would default to "All", would be a workable solution, if ioncache can be convinced. :)
or how 'bout like google, and use search parameters 1 field then put authors: xeno if you want to search just authors
That sort of thing works for power users for sure, but lots of people don't even know you can search Google that way. I do think we want to keep it simple enough to be useful to everyone, but it's a good suggestion to consider.
We're looking at adding all sorts of things. The limiting factor right now is the number of committers involved with the project as a whole. If you'd like to contribute some code or help us get the word out about this, I think we'll be able to get changes in that much faster.
