Description bill p. (aka google01103) 2012-06-08 16:33:17 UTC 
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
Comment 2 Marco Martin 2012-06-21 16:13:35 UTC 
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
