When I first saw the admin bar search form...\r\n\r\n![search](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/14132746/10119264/b1595508-6456-11e5-9d52-e16500e3c021.png)\r\n\r\n... I immediately thought I could type something like \"cookies\" and Bd would search, pull up and then link to the proper content. (A search form for your written content basically)\r\n\r\nI was like, \"cool!\".\r\n\r\nEventually figured out that wasn't the case. Now, I do like the menu search feature but **feel like this is a quick and small letdown to new users coming to Backdrop**. Even with the text \"Menu search\", many new users will still immediately think like I do. We are beginning the first foot with disappointment.\r\n\r\n- I doubt new users will really get what \"Menu search\" means at first glance. By the time they do, they will be silently disappointed like me. \"Why can't it just search for my content??\" Friction enters.\r\n- Finding your content with the search from the admin bar is much faster. Sometimes I know the post title and don't need to go all the way to \"admin>content>find content\". Boost productivity basically.\r\n\r\nAnyway, here is a quick mockup of how it can look\r\n\r\n![menusearch](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/14132746/10119272/fbe0a25c-6456-11e5-9ef9-6d8ec719a70b.png)\r\n\r\nSome suggestions\r\n\r\n- limit the content search to the top 3 found results that match the query.\r\n    - uh... probably move the content search results above the menu search since results are limited\r\n- provide a link to \"admin>content>find content\" so users can browse and explore if search fails\r\n- also provide a link to the full search results page\r\n- provide options\r\n    - add an option to disable searching content for the users who have no need for them.\r\n    - add an option to disable menu search too\r\n    - provide option to set how many results are found for content search"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/comments/143505681","html_url":"https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/1258#issuecomment-143505681","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/1258","id":143505681,"user":{"login":"sutibun","id":14132746,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/14132746?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/sutibun","html_url":"https://github.com/sutibun","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sutibun/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sutibun/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sutibun/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sutibun/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sutibun/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sutibun/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sutibun/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sutibun/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sutibun/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-09-26T23:45:35Z","updated_at":"2015-09-26T23:45:35Z","body":"oh, I wasn't referring to visitors.
