How should we handle KCM-specific search fields?
System Settings itself has a search field above the header. It searches for KCMs in the view below it.
Many KCMs have their own search fields. They search through page content below them.
The result often looks like this:
There are a few issues stemming from this:
- With two search fields both bound to Ctrl+F, they shadow each other's shortcuts. Even if they didn't, it would be unclear which one would or should be activated by that shortcut
- The page search field is generally much wider than the sidebar search field, and at a lower Y level in the window too. The result often looks kind of ugly
- Showing two search fields in the same window in general is kind of inherently awkward
Let's brainstorm ideas to improve this situation.
