pull down to refresh

Some well meant and hopefully constructive feedback on search:
  • Currently the response is a bit slow after I hit enter and there is no clear indication that the page registered my query. It made me wonder whether I did not click correctly.
  • On the search results page the searched string could be highlighted
  • I'm not a big fan of the bottom position:fixed button and a bar on desktop. The sticky circle button breaks the feel of SN being this fast, static page. The bottom position of search is unexpected (on desktop). On Mobile it works ok and the position is good (i.e. it's easy to reach with your thumb and on Android it's common to have FABs).
  • The loading indicator should appear at the top of the screen as usual. Your eye might be on the search bar at the bottom though, so perhaps something should be done about that.
  • Definitely plan to do this.
  • Eventually, search will probably go in the navbar (at least on desktop). It's a pretty serious exercise moving everything around though so I punted it.

Taken as intended. It all makes sense to me
