Today’s Tip:
Your website should have ONE search box. The search box should be at the top of the page and visible. There is no need to have more than one “Site Search” box on any given page. “Filter” input areas are different as long as they react to the content on the page immediately. If there is a desire to have a “Search Entire University” and “Search xxx Sub site” you should be doing it with one input box and radio buttons for the user to choose the scope of the search. Multiple search boxes confuse the user and reduce confidence in their use.
