[Bug 36651] New: Add hint text in the search bar in the OPAC
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=36651 Bug ID: 36651 Summary: Add hint text in the search bar in the OPAC Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: OPAC Assignee: oleonard@myacpl.org Reporter: caroline.cyr-la-rose@inlibro.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org I had this suggestion during a training yesterday. Some people were saying it was not obvious what the search bar was meant for, and it was suggested that maybe putting a hint text in the search bar would help understand. (Similar to the wiki search box https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Main_Page, it says "Search Koha wiki" and when you start typing this text disappears.) It could be customizable, but the default could be something like "Search the library catalog". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=36651 --- Comment #4 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de> --- That's one of these changes I am not totally sure about. For me the difference between the typed in search terms and the placeholder text are visually not very strong. It might be related to not having the best screen, but that might make it a good test too. :) I am happy to push as is to get some more eyes/opinions maybe. We got plenty of time now. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

We do have the capability of styling the placeholder differently than the normal text. That might make a good visual hint that the text isn't actually filling the input. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
