#47923 [NEW]: Make search box remember entered search on results page

From: gerry dot spm+phpBug at gmail dot com Operating system: Ubuntu Intrepid PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Website problem Bug description: Make search box remember entered search on results page Description: ------------ Feature request: On most search result pages (across the web) the standard is to refill the search query on the results page so that it's easy to alter the query. However on php.net the search returns to a blank text field on the results page. Just one example of when this is quite annoying is when you want to switch from a "function list" search to an "online documentation" search using the same query, you have to retype your query again. Note: This has of course taken me more time to report than it will ever save me, so I'm clearly not doing it for my own benefit. It's a small change but I imagine there are quite a lot of developers who have been silently annoyed by it and not reporting because of the reporting time issue associated with such a small feature request. :) Kind Regards ~ Gerry Reproduce code: --------------- Search for something on php.net Expected result: ---------------- Your search query is refilled in the search box on the results page Actual result: -------------- The search box is empty -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47923&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47923&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47923&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47923&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47923&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47923&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47923&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47923&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47923&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47923&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47923&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47923&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47923&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47923&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47923&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47923&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47923&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47923&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47923&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47923&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47923&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47923&r=mysqlcfg
