We're testing an instant popup search on 45worlds, similar to what exists on 45cat. When you type anything into the search bar at the top of the page, you will see instant search results.

By default the entire 45worlds is searched even if you are viewing a specific world.

I have had a problem with it on 45Cat - when I search by Image Number, sometimes it erases what I type...

This seems to be if I leave my mouse pointer there - if I move the pointer away, it seems fine! :confused:

Leaving the mouse pointer positioned beneath the search text box apparently 'selects' one of the drop down results, which interferes with typing (so I have found). I suggest moving the pointer above the search box before typing.

This bug has been reported a few times and I've not managed to recreate it. If it happens to you then please let me know what type of device and browser you are using, and I can investigate!

My first impressions is that some searches work, and some don't, or are just pointless depending on the search, i.e...
Country or artist searches - It's pointless having just 10 thumbnails showing if you type "Queen", as it would be for when any artist with over 10 items.
If you type in a country i.e "Canada" then it just shows any that have the country in the TITLE, and any search by track will also search the TITLE
It works well for Title/barcode/Cat No. searches though, very good but
not for composers, unless the composer has less than 10 items.
Personally, i find it gets in the way, as more "noise".
It would be better if we could have the grey "All" drop down box on the homepage as well as there is on the individual worlds, but to the left of the search box, so, that you choose the search option first, i.e, "Artist", then type "Queen" ,then make it so it does not show 10 options for Artist,Composer,Track,Country as they are futile/do not show what your looking for, but showing the 10 options for Title/barcode/Cat No.
Hope that's not too disheartening, it's working half the time which is great;)

A slight tweak to how the popup search works. Now the popup search just searches the world you are in. To remove confusion, the popup tells you which world it is searching, eg it says "Vinyl Albums" at the top.
