Greetings. ANother issue with your current search box: The user has to scroll down to find it!

I think the search input field should always be at the top of the page, where the user will surely find it. Maybe put it just above the feeds section?

Very nice guide btw, in addition to this:

and Nielsen’s guide, we probably have all the information we’ll ever need on the matter

Thanks, Tim, for your comment. I might do some changes although you were able to:

- find the search box
- notice that it was a search box
- see the GO button
- and notice what that button was for.

I do really appreciate your comment.

it’s interesting that you write this blog when the search box on here is small and the GO button is wrapped down to the second line. and it’s thrown in the midst of a bunch of other text around it.

I think the Safari books example also suffers from having the boxes for the search term and where to search in the wrong order. I have used the site for more than a year and still try to enter my search temr in the wrong box.
