Go Search
Oct 23
I've been using a wiki to do some documentation recently and I suddenly noticed that the search form has two buttons: "Go" and "Search." After a some experimenting, I realized that pressing the "Go" button takes you directly to a page named whatever you typed into the text input (/wiki/test) and pressing the "Search" button searches the wiki for that term. Even if the buttons serve two discreet functions, you have to admit this is hardly intuitive.
You've just answered a question that has bugged me for months. Jquery's documentation page has this same thing. The first time I encountered I literally sat there staring at "Go" and "Search" for what felt like a full minute. Which one do I hit? I tried both of them but I didn't get the difference. I just tried it again and sure enough, the "Go" is searching for the page with that name.
Glad I could help :)
