1. When using the forum search, search terms usually are pre-filled in the search form/box on the results page, which is convenient. Double-quoted terms do not, neither do following terms: https://forum.kde.org/search.php?keywords=foo+"bar"+tar Single quotes not affected. https://forum.kde.org/search.php?keywords=foo+'bar'+tar 2. On related note: searches without results do not pre-fill the search box at all: https://forum.kde.org/search.php?keywords=akjdfsdf334o3pp"as 3. Regular search doesn't put the search term into the URL, making the results page unusable for bookmarking/sharing. 4. On https://forum.kde.org/search.php the top right search box is grayed out without explanation, which is highly uncommon and thus confusing. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to https://forum.kde.org/search.php?keywords=foo+"bar"+tar 2. Go to https://forum.kde.org/search.php?keywords=akjdfsdf334o3pp"as 3. Go to https://forum.kde.org/index.php and search for "fun" 4. Go to https://forum.kde.org/search.php Actual Results: 1. Search box is pre-filled with: foo 2. Search box is not pre-filled 3. URL is https://forum.kde.org/search.php 4. Be confused by the uncommented grayed out search box. Expected Results: 1. Search box should be pre-filled with: foo "bar" tar 2. Search box should be pre-filled with: akjdfsdf334o3pp"as 3. URL should be https://forum.kde.org/search.php?keywords=fun 4.a. See a comment (for example HTML title) stating "please use the advanced search form below") clicking the inactive search box should highlight the search box that one is supposed to use and possibly jquery UI highlight it as well 4.b. See no top right search box, instead possibly be confused by its lack but quickly find the search box that should be used. 4.c. See an anker link "jump to search" instead of the top right search box.

Hi there, I can reproduce all these. Though I'm not sure whether number 3 is really a problem? One can always get the search link from the "Search found XXX matches ← foo" text above the result list. (note: I'm a Google Code-in student)
Hi and thanks. Update to #3 Expected: 3. URL should be a GET request like https://forum.kde.org/search.php?keywords=fun so that it is consistent with results when using https://forum.kde.org/search.php and so that the link can be instantly bookmarked and/or shared. I believe that http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/whenToUseGet.html#checklist indicates the GET should be used for search.
