Re: WANTED: Design for documentation (Photoshop power users!)

[Valentin Villenave]

Hi Reinhold, hi everybody,

I find the new documentation layout very impressive, but there's one
feature I'm still missing: the integrated search function!

In the attached html page I have pasted (in a very basic way) a search
box at the top of the tocframe; this is more or less the kind of
layout I'd like to see. However, there are a few improvements I can
suggest, though I don't know how to implement these:

- the search box size and the search-button should be handled by the CSS
- the text on the search button should be defined by a localized string
- the search box should provide auto-completion possible results (like
on Wikipedia)
- the search function should show the results in the main "frame" on
the right, without making the tocframe disappear.

This would definitely make browsing, searching and using the docs a
*lot* easier!

Cheers,
Valentin
