I select a category, do a search and what I'm looking for does not appear so I change my search term and thought the term is valid for a widget nothing shows because it now only searches in a specific category and I've searched the wrong category but I can't tell that it's still a filtered sub-set. Either the category button should display the category being searched or a new search should reset the category selection to all. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. filter category 2. search 3. search again for a diff widget that's in a diff category Actual Results: no widget found even if it is a valid search Expected Results: widget found because new search resets category to all or the category button tell me I'm searching on a particular category and I see my error not sure it's a bug or a wishlist but it is confusing (at least to me)
A bug and a usability issue IMHO
the current design is set a category -> search to refine the results even more i think both approaches are valid, it's more yeah, a wish of behavior change
