Description Praveen Arimbrathodiyil 2010-09-06 14:13:27 UTC

Currently advanced option for search is hidden with "Toggle Search". It would be more intuitive if we change it to "Advanced Search Options" or just "Advanced Search" (Google.com uses this terminology) or "More Options". Toggle is used for turn on/turn off

From http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=toggle&gwp=13

"To alternate between two or more electronic, mechanical, or computer-related options, usually by the operation of a single switch or keystroke: toggled back and forth between two windows on the screen." 

Thanks
Praveen

I suggest replacing it with "Show Search Options"

On second thought: a simple "Show Search Options" would be incorrect once they have been expanded. The "Toggle" referred to in the current link text is there so it is correct for both the hidden->shown transition and the shown->hidden transition.

The ideal solution would be:

- make it a button rather than a link
- "Show Search Options" by default
- changes to "Hide Search Options" when expanded

Progressively simpler alternatives would be:

- keep it as a link rather than a button
- use "Show/Hide Search Options" instead of "Toggle Search", without making any other changes.

We should at least do the last one, but dynamically changing the text would be better if it's not too much work.
