Some "features" of the new
search in
RPC online are in my eyes a
bit strange too.
I agree with helvetica with respect to this Kyzikos
Cyzicus question. There lived people speaking Greek, calling their city ΚΥΖΙΚΟΣ and stamping this on their coins. It is only 19th century tradition (or even older) to take over the imperialistic view of the
Roman Empire, there is no urgent need to get stuck on that. But as long as the names are used homogeneously, I am happy
.
Why does the OR option only
work in the simple
search and not in the advanced one? Usually an advanced
search is more powerful than a simple one
.
In other systems you have at least the possibility to choose whether the parameters of the
search are coupled by AND or by OR. This is a little
bit more complicated, perhaps even for the user, but offers more flexibility.
Generally a little description about how to
search would be helpful.
Why is in the advanced
search the "
Search" button on the left? My experience is that the button to proceed is usually on the right
side. The first times I was searching something I killed my
search criteria instead of seeing the results
. (Obviously someone has been aware of this situation and made the "Clear all" button
red , but didn't change it
.)
Not to be misunderstood:
RPC online is a very useful tool, but could be made even a
bit better
.
(It is always the same. Users don't think exactly as you do and have expectations you didn't have on the list
)
