JS in search field

[jmatsushita]

Hi Nicolas,

I noticed a few things with the Javascript on the Search box on the home page which are problematic from a usability standpoint:

• When entering a single letter, like say "t" the autocomplete box quickly appears and disappears which doesn't allow enough time to select the proposed choices.
• The same search box looses focus just a bit after typing which means that it doesn't keep the text input cursor leading to problems (if you make a pause in typing then hitting the back-delete button actually triggers the back button of the browser, or subsequent inputted text doesn't get displayed).

Can you look into it?

This has to do with the automatic submit in views hacks. The search box looses focus because the form is being submitted so the active element is the hidden submit button and not the search box anymore.

I don't get the autocomplete box.

Will look into it.
