Description

The search on page that is available in module list along with module page is not ideal:

  • redundant with the main search
  • not very visible for End User

We should improve the situation.

Could we have it merged with the main search (the upper right search).

Are there already ideas in the air about this topic?

Could we add a new keyword in the main search. We currently have #page, #content for filtering the scope of search. Could we add a "#this" to define the current page. Or does the keyword make it to geeky? Obviously, we will add this new keyword into the local help (the blue box - if you see what I am mean) for the sake of clarity for the End Users.

At the moment, the situation is as follows:

foo           -> will search all (configured) tables
#page: foo    -> will search in table "pages" 
#content: foo -> will search in table "tt_content"

Then we could add:

#this: foo    -> will search all (configured) tables on the current pid

This was already changed. Or not?

This was the concept back than at the UXW I've suggested.

Since the release of 4.5 I think the search at the top-right includes
a so called local view, which provides the search results of the search
from the bottom in the past. Am I right? This was at least what I wished :)

Don't think so. Tested on 4.7 with #page_id

In my opinion this is the correct way.
The search form in page and list modules should be removed completely.

To train the livesearch to obey the selected page there should be be two sections within the search results:

1. Local results (currently selected page)
2. Global results
