Suggested change in the template for contextual search

Open coprisanu opened this issue 4 years ago • 9 comments

Hi,

In the template for contextual search there is a paragraph with "From [Context label]" just under the display of the count of search results. The paragraph doesn't look integrated with the design, I consider it would much more visible and useful by adding the [Context label] just on the right of the label "Search" like in the search UI for Finance Canada https://wet-boew.github.io/themes-dist/GCWeb/search/results-contextual-en.html

Thank you

I want it to add a link to the search interface used by Finance Canada where the department name is on the right of the label "Search". https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/search-finance.html?cdn=canada&st=s&num=10&langs=en&st1rt=1&s5bm3ts21rch=x&q=canada&charset=utf-8&wb-srch-sub=

Can this issue be closed?

@GormFrank We would need to keep it open. I have contacted Jane Stewart and I have asked her to help us to advance with our request.

@coprisanu Have you tried the most recent template for contextual search and see were it fails the users? The label [Context label] is on the left instead of the right and out of the button. This might be to prevent the button label to be too long depending of the search context. The pattern could require some improvements, especially on mobile view but it could do the job you. Let me know if you want to discuss it further.
