Version: 1.4-svn (using KDE KDE 3.5.2) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc 4.0.3 OS: Linux a) it's a filter, not a search b) the word is positioned in the wrong place anyway By the same reasoning, the word "search" used in the filler text in the filter boxes should probably be changed to "filter" to better reflect the function of these boxes.
The label is important because it provides a keyboard shortcut (alt-e) for focusing. That's the main purpose. > a) it's a filter, not a search It used to be called filter, but we changed it to search because search is a much less technical term, and it still fits OK. Everyone knows searching, think Google. But filter really is a scientifc term. Most common people associate coffee filters with this word.
In that case... someone should take a hard look at the tooltips ;) They *all* refer to filters, not searching. That is, the tooltips for the main playlist search bar, the word "Search" and the "clear filter" button, as well as the search bar and clear buttons on the context browser and files browser.
You're right, they do use the word filter. I'll rename the bug appropriately and reopen. It's a pity there's a string freeze at the moment and so we can't fix this for 1.4.0.
marked as resolved due to lack of interest, even though it's still inconsistent, especially the collection "search" bar tooltip.
I think this report is still valid, as long as the tooltips aren't fixed.
