Hi guys

Sorry, I could have been a little more descriptive. I don't think this is a dupe of the amarok-like search wish.

When you click on the 'searches' tab on the far left hand side, you get a blank window basically, if you don't have any saved searches. I found this perplexing the first time I saw it, and assumed that search function was not yet implemented all the way. But I soon realized you had to right click in the left pane to select simple or advanced search.

What I would suggest, would be to display the search box inside the right pane, in the same space that the search result images will be displayed, but above them. I would get rid of the right-click popup window altogether.

This would be more intuitive I believe, as it mimics how most search engines work, online or offline.

May I ask what search engine you use under the hood?
