You aren't going to believe what Saskatoon City Council is spending your money on now and with the incompetence they are doing it with.
Back when the city moved to their new governance model (the one they say is like all other cities but really isn't), they created new committees as a part of that. Committee memberships are done in one of two ways. They are voted on or they are decided by seniority. There are many examples of both but when I hear seniority, I tend to think of the U.S. Senate and Congressional committees which are decided exclusively by seniority (the longer you are around, the wiser you become, or at least that is the hope).
You always hear Saskatoon politicians speak of the "made in Saskatoon" solution. Our solution was to draw names from a hat for one of City Council's committees. It was done in executive committee so it was supposed to be confidential but instead of deciding on a committee by seniority or by merit (as decided by colleagues), names were put into a hat and drawn out. I first heard some rumours from other media and city sources soon after executive was done who didn't think it was normal (it wasn't). After confirming the rumour with some people from council (who were less then impressed that I knew), I tweeted it.
That upset some on council who were frustrated that council went down that course of action and others found out about it. As I said to more then one, "If you don't want to look like a bunch of clowns, stop acting like a bunch of clowns". From that the city solicitor was asked to draw up a memo/report to remind council that they were not supposed to be leaking confidential executive committee stuff. I assume that the term, "acting like a bunch of clowns" was not used in the report.
A couple of weeks later, I was to appear on the regular Saskatoon Afternoon with David Kirton roundtable with David and Bronwyn Eyre. Show topics are emailed to us by the producer Brittany Higgins. I like Brittany as she does a good job of politely refusing topics that I suggest that would take David, Bronwyn, myself and a panel of foreign affairs experts a week to talk about and instead sticks to her 5 minute topics which are way better radio. That day she sent us a link to Charles Hamilton's article about the Mayor again mentioning that we should have a Twitter Wall in City Council.
I don't know why the Mayor is always asking for a Twitter wall in City Council chambers. First of all Twitter is public already. All of the interesting posts can be found at #yxecc and can be read by anyone at anytime. Thirdly and I mean no offense to the Councillors that tweet, it's pretty boring stuff. You will get the occasional link posted to a report or something but other than that, they may be reading comments but they aren't making that many comments in council. Whatever it is that the Mayor wants, is already there, all they need to do is turn on a projector and go to the #yxecc link. I doubt very much I'll get credit for this in Council Chambers.
So Bronwyn and I start talking about the Twitter wall and it wasn't our best segment. On a good segment there is a sense of flow and cadence and it wasn't there. I also called out some on the school board for tweeting during meetings which wasn't expected and in the end I walked out of the CKOM studio and tweeted something like, "I wish the mayor would stop talking about this stupid Twitter wall". If there is a topic that I never want to talk about again, it is the Twitter wall.
(This is a media roundtable gone wrong. You really haven't had a fight on air until this or this happens)
Apparently at that exact time, the Mayor was in executive committee and was talking about the Twitter wall. So the conclusion was made by our wise political leadership that someone had to be leaking to me the contents of executive meetings to me. It never occurred to anyone to listen to David Kirton's show or to read the mornings StarPhoenix or just ask me, "what's up with that tweet?"
A simple subscription to Google News Alerts would have told city council the truth but they decided they needed a leak investigation to find out the source of the leaks. Or they could have asked me who told me. While my sources are confidential, I would have no problem telling them that the source for the Twitter wall leak was CHARLES HAMILTON, you know since we talked about it on air and it him that published the Mayor's on the record comments made during an interview to The StarPhoenix.
Well council couldn't let this stand and decided to hire a private investigator to investigate the leak. After rejecting some local retired cops, they rejected this guy for having too high of travel costs.
They rejected these guys because they couldn't tell them apart.
They also wanted this guy but an agreement couldn't be worked out with STARS over helicopter parking.
They really wanted this group of guys but they couldn't find them.
So they hired a retired RCMP officer with the ability to question councillors and examine phone, computer and email records to see if they have been the ones that have leaked The StarPhoenix to me. If they were serious (and I don't think they are), they would have a conversation about the FOI requests that were filed in the lead up to the 2012 elections. Those FOI's filed by The StarPhoenix and other media outlets covered @saskatoon.ca emails and there was a lot of embarrassing things said in those emails. Since then councillors rarely use @saskatoon.ca email for non constituent communications. Therefore they fall out of scope of the investigation. Also since there are some precedents of government provided phones being able to be FOI'd, some councillors use two phones or don't have the city pay for their own phone. Thirdly, there is a thing called a manilla envelope and it works really well. Some are just left in my mailbox late at night or mailed to me with no return address.
I have heard the questions that have been asked, the good cop, bad cop routine, and even the follow up questions. I recently found out that I wasn't supposed to find out about the investigation because that would compromise it (doh!) but that was after councillors phoned up to ask me if they had sent me anything they might have forgotten about. Quite the investigation. The ones that are calling for the investigation then go out and immediately undermine it.
Saskatoon City Council can't even do a leak investigation properly (someone needs to do a Tumblr for things Saskatoon City Council can't do properly).
Why is council doing this when most already know the truth? Here are the answers I have gotten so far.
- I need to be put in my place. I am unsure how investigating each other is putting me in my place. I have been accused (along with other media of making city councillors life more difficult before and apparently them attacking each other is supposed to change that. While I am disappointed that they are wasting time doing this, I am unsure how this is putting me in my place. I learn stuff and I write about it. I am not sure how that changes.
- This allows for frank discussions in Executive committee. This is close to the truth. Saskatoon City Council is the most secretive city council and city hall in Western Canada. No one else comes close. Executive Committee's in camera proceedings are often used to hash out issues away from the public eye to avoid political backlash. With confidentiality clauses, no one can voice the opposing decisions. It's also why media and people pack City Hall chambers from time to time to see a big issues passed without discussion. John Gormley used to talk about the Gang of Five, now there is a Gang of Eleven. By comparison, take a look at the Manning Foundation's Council Tracker which looks at a much criticized Calgary City Council's actions. Saskatoon City Council is so secretive we can't even track how secretive they are.
- To weaken other councillors. I have heard from a few councillors, "I know who your source is and they will pay". Umm, again… the source is the Mayor as told to Charles Hamilton? Is this a power play against His Worship, Hamilton, Brittany Higgins, maybe even David Kirton. I can't keep track anymore. In other words it is an investigation using taxpayer dollars for political games. The truth js that some think that either Darren Hill, Zach Jeffries, or Pat Lorje are my sources. If they are right (and they are not), then those councillors are weakened going up for re-election. Pretty amazing work environment that they have going there.
- The weirdest explanation is that this will keep Darren Hill from running for the federal Liberals in Saskatoon West. Apparently he had so muh fun running under Ignatieff and getting 11% he wants to do it again (I could be wrong but I think I was being flippant there). Even with a 15% Liberal bump from Trudeau and the seat stays Conservative.
My favourite is the accusation that I am sort of a shadowy behind the scenes operative because I am never seen at political events. This one makes me angry but I can understand it. When you are a hammer, everything you see is a nail. When you are a politician, everything is political.
First of all, I am non partisan. I get attacked by liberals and conservatives (often at the same time). I have a bias toward a lot of policies but the politics of council make me bored and sad for the city. One of my most dearly held theological beliefs is best articulated by Stanley Hauerwas and Will Willimon in their book, Resident Aliens
When politics is brought to the attention of Jesus (Luke 20:20-26), the whole discussion is portrayed with such jocularity as to suggest that we are to take none of this with seriousness. When wanting to trap Jesus and hand him over to the police (Luke 20:20), they ask Jesus, "Should we pay taxes to Caesar or not?" (Note that was our question, not Jesus'.)
Jesus answers (Luke 20:24), "Who's got a quarter?"
(Note that Jesus' pockets are empty.)
When a coin is produced, Jesus asks, "Whose picture is on it?"
We answer, "George Washington."
"Well, if he needs the stuff so badly as to put his picture on it, then give it to him, " says Jesus. "But you be careful and don't give to Caesar what belongs to God."
Okay. We give up. Should we pay taxes to Caesar or not?
From this we learn that a primary biblical way or treating politics is as a joke. Certainly, politicians can make much mischief, but it would be a liturgical and ethical mistake to take them too seriously. Idolatry is as big a problem for democracies as for non-democracies.
If you ask me what I think about politics, I don't take it very seriously. If someone, even a politician wants some advice, I give it to them. I guess it's why I enjoy commenting on it. I love policy but the politics side is nothing more of a joke. I also like most people and I hate the partisan process. I like going out with people and sharing ideas. It's gets brutal when partisan lines are drawn and it interferes with friendships.
I want our city, province, and country to be a better place but at the end of the day, I'll give that advice to their opponent or anyone who reads this blog, my columns, listens to me on air or a podcast. Saskatoon is a weird place in that not only are we largely ignorant of best practices of other cities (even winter cities), when we find out about them, we reject them in favour of a "made in Saskatoon" solution. In other words most of what I suggest is ignored which is fine, even if it does seem to cost us more money as a city. The only piece of legislation I have ever tried to change was a flawed piece of affordable housing policy that myself and other housing providers opposed. That's it. A public email sent to 10 councillors and the mayor. 10 of the replied. The mayor did not but the motion failed. That is what is important.
Provincially I once wrote a letter Premier Brad Wall about the problems of mental health and homeless. One of his hacks replied with a letter about about hip replacements waiting lists. I learned two things, writing the government is a HUGE waste of time and my lobbying powers aren't exactly immense. I have some sway with Cam Broten. When I say "sway", he doesn't reply back with letters about hip replacement waiting lists. My big piece of advice to him is that is to never by a Rider jersey without a number because they look stupid. I also suggest going with a classic number like Ron Lancaster, George Reed, or Ray Elgaard so if the player you choose gets in trouble with the law, you don't look like an idiot. There you go. That is my expertise in provincial politics. I hate blank Rider jerseys. That is my shadowy behind the scenes maneuvering. Rider jerseys and homeless issues.
As for why I am never seen, this is a bit more personal. Wendy has long struggled with depression and it is getting worse. She wrote about it here and this has been by far the most difficult year we have ever had as a family. Not only is her depression worse but it affects Mark in more significant ways as he grows older. There are many times that we have plans and either Wendy can't go out in public or Mark has asked if I wanted to hang out with him and Oliver. The are other times when I come home after just cleaning the house and it is a disaster again. When there is chaos in Wendy's mind, there is chaos in my world and it hard to keep up. So yeah, it means that I don't go out a lot because I am trying to keep the family together. (why do you think I write about mental health issues as much as I do. It is largely over how hard it has been to get Wendy good help). It is this and Hauerwas' writings (which is actually rooted in John Howard Yoder's writings) that I will never run for political office. That and Mike Duffy has killed many options for fat bald guys from the media. (Full disclosure, I was a long time member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Saskatchewan growing up and ran in 1995 for the Tories in Saskatoon. I was 21. My views, hairline, pant size, and opinions on politics have changed since then).
So after I help Wendy deal with her day, help the kids with their world, I sit down on a chair and I read, write, and research. No shadowy meetings. No late night phone calls. Nothing. Most of it is spent trying to figure out who we get through tomorrow and hoping it isn't as bad as today was. I don't drink. Urban planning, systems theory, and photography are my escape. The photography gets me out of the house and the books and looking at things through a different lens and experiencing the city in a whole new way.
Considering that I have said in many columns that politicians are psychopaths, plotting world takeovers with them isn't really high on my to-do list.
Yes, politicians are more likely than people in the general population to be sociopaths. I think you would find no expert in the field of sociopathy/psychopathy/antisocial personality disorder who would dispute this… That a small minority of human beings literally have no conscience was and is a bitter pill for our society to swallow — but it does explain a great many things, shamelessly deceitful political behavior being one.
As an aside, if any world dominating villain offers me the Denver Broncos, I will accept them with more grace than Homer Simpson did.
I care about homeless issues, affordable housing, and challenging growing inequality in cities. The stuff I write about is what I care about. I don't care if someone from the right or the left carries that stuff out, as long as it is done.
Maybe that is why I am so disgusted about this freaking leak investigation that isn't a leak. It's cheap political games that are a pain to deal with, cost us as the City of Saskatoon citizens, and is a sham right from the start. Plus by the fact that I know about it and councillors are actively undermining it, a city solicitor who doesn't know realize this a game, and an investigator who doesn't realize how the game is played, it is a massive waste of time and money at a time when the city has much more pressing concerns than finding out that I read The StarPhoenix (and apparently they don't read Saskatoon's paper of record). As I have written and said before, I don't think we are hiring (or electing) the best and brightest at City Hall. Amateur hour shows it.
Leaks happen all of the time in Saskatoon, Regina, and Ottawa. By the time I have heard something, I know The StarPhoenix has heard it, Rawlco has heard it, and CBC has heard it. Even the television stations with constantly changing reporters hear the gossip because it goes right from counsellors to reporters. It always has, it always will. To stop all of us from finding out about what Council is up to, they have decided to do leak investigation.
My answer is the same as it always has been, if you don't want to look like a bunch of clowns, stop acting like a bunch of clowns. We deserve more from our City Council than a bunch of silly political games but this is what passes for leadership in Saskatoon.
So in summary
- I follow a confirmed a leak about Saskatoon City Council behaving ridiculously and that embarrassed them.
- Saskatoon City Council is full of a bunch of gossips.
- I read The StarPhoenix and discuss it on the air.
- Sometimes Bronwyn Eyre wins those debates (okay many times) and I tweet about it.
- In summary, it would be cheaper for councillors to sign up for Google News Alerts then hiring private investigators. It would also be helpful to somewhat aware of what you say to reporters of The StarPhoenix.
- If council is going to authorize a sham investigation, telling me about it immediately undermines it.
Oh yeah, I emailed Mark Rhogstad at the City of Saskatoon to ask how much the leak investigation was costing us. He didn't return my email.

Perhaps your "conservatives" have a point in that social welfare expenditure can get out of control and eventually cripple a nation with tax-paying workers paying for the handouts. In the U.K we have this problem and there seems to be no acceptable political solution.
A lot would appear to depend on the basic attitude towards the human condition; The U.S was built on a spirit of competition and an acceptance that "nice guys come last". The trouble comes when this results in 3 million in jail and a millionaire top slice who pull every trick to pay as little as possible into the common pool.
I wonder how many of them call themselves "Christians?"

On websites with a search box, should you add a button they can click on, or will users understand a search box like on this site?
The target group is not very technical, such as women aged 40-60.
On websites with a search box, should you add a button they can click on, or will users understand a search box like on this site? The target group is not very technical, such as women aged 40-60. |
Yes, it's absolutely needed for non-technical audience. Google was experimenting with this on their homepage and they kept the button. People expect to click on something and user interface is always about matching people expectations. This issue is being addressed in HTML5 spec. Once |
We had the same discussion over at StackOverflow. Here's the answer that best wrapped-up the whole discussion: |
An alternative is live/continuous search: Update the search results immediately on every button press. In addition to improved efficiency, it can also help to solve such usability problems as users typing more search parameters than are needed, users not noticing the find button, users making a typing mistake and not knowing why the search results were empty etc. 1 Of course, technically a continuous search is more complex to implement than a simple search form. In web environment, Ajax/Comet is needed, and also the server-side search must be fast. But the implementation complexity is easily justified with improved usability, if the search is a central feature. Whatever you do, it's always a good idea to make a usability test to find out whether the users will know how to use the system, and then make improvements as necessary. 1 Soren Lauesen, User Interface Design: A Software Engineering Perspective, 2005; page 286 |
Just to play devil's advocate… I agree wholeheartedly with the above responses; I generally don't see any advantages to not having a button, at least from a UX perspective. Having this button present meets the user's expectations, and is often an absolute requirement to support individuals who aren't tech-savvy. But, I feel it's quite important to consider that the presence of a button can cause problems if it isn't approached properly. I ran usability testing project for an e-commerce site not too long ago, and the 'search' button was causing a rather nasty usability problem. As the button had been made very prominent in the design, particularly in contrast to the text entry field itself (which hadn't been well defined), many users were clicking the 'search' button under the assumption that it would open or display the site search, as oppose to initiate it. As a result, many users ended up a "0 results found for (null)" page and became quite confused. We ended up rectifying this problem by making the text field more prominent, downplaying the button and changing the terminology to 'go' as opposed to 'search'. This rprevented and confusion or ambiguity as a result of the button. The decision to include a button within your search field is probably the right one, just ensure that it's fully considered in terms of design or it can end up doing more harm than good. |
Before I start let me get this out of the way. The question as originally asked is not definitively answerable beyond some permutation of: Every answer provided thus far lays out great arguments that boil down to the same answer.
YES. Take one look at the massive ongoing user-testing lab known as Facebook. They took away the enter button on comments and almost immediately returned it with that crazy checkbox to teach people to use enter when users complained. Even if it was only 10% of them, that means 90 million people. I think the search button has little relevance in today's online environments but it is still and will always be necessary to some degree. So the final answer is: |
2012 Bounty Answer Fascinating question and answers. The development of UX/UI conventions is endlessly interesting... for me it is like watching the development of language before our eyes (: I would argue that the use of a search button is something that is worth A/B testing within your particular context. Unlike some above I do think that such a tiny matter is worth investigating thoroughly. This is a key way that people access the information on your site. Alternatively (or perhaps in addition) an unmoderated remote usability test (I am currrenly reading Nate Bolt's great book on such matters) could be done fairly cheaply. This might buy you more insights into why people find it confusing or not. My general impression with regard to search is that the conventions surrounding it are definitely changing in 2012. I just switched to a newer version of Safari and google search is now built into the address bar i.e. I can put search terms or URL's into the same place. This is definitely new for me and for the first couple of uses I kept searching for the google search box. But now after a few hours use it feels entirely intuitive. Similarly the way the keyboard changes in mobile search depending on the type of data expected is a new way of supporting search which intially I found confusing... i.e. why can't I type text here (doh.. it is a telephone number search). Equally in google search advanced users can use all sorts of search terms to focus the search. It may well be that the conventions are changing dependent on where on a page the search box is placed. At the top of a page you might expect just to press enter whereas if the search is presented as part of a pages content then the expectation of the user is that there should be a button. But this is pure hypothesis on my part. Test test test ... has to be the answer! We really have no other way to establish what is happening in this fast pacing techno world of ours (: |
To answer the bounty, situation in 2012 didn't change much, as there's nothing to change. However, there are special cases when a search button might be omitted:
It is important that your belief about how your users might think don't count, you have to actually conduct the studies and measuring frustration (usually, this is done by measuring their pupilla with an infrared webcam, blood pressure, pulse, or skin electricity... Please note that the way of measuring might actually make them frustrated alone). If you don't have access to such equipment, universities, larger UX shops, huge marketing companies do and they give access to it for a fee. The reason behind is that searching is a single method which has a close down operation. This operation has to have affordance: the user should expect the interface to behave in certain ways, either by having a huge bunch of software working this way, or by having a visual clue (or visibility) on the interface. It is not entirely impossible, that there are users out there, who expect that if an input box is completely rounded, and has "Search" written in it as a default placeholder, it works by hitting enter after the key, but how much are they representing the your demographics of your application, it can't be told for certain without extensive (and expensive) studies. There are millions of people who have never ever used the search field in Safari or Firefox, and even more, who have never ever entered anything in a URL bar, and type in web addresses into a search engine like Google instead (which is on the default frontpage of every single browser), and if they didn't learn it until 2010, they aren't expected to have accustomed to it in the last two years. A space-saving solution would be, to put a little magnifying glass at the left edge of the search input box, inside the box, making it clickable. This way, space isn't taken from more important functions, but users without expectations on the effectiveness of "Enter" or "Instant Search" have something to click on. (While Instant Search might be a good idea, in practice, it didn't transform the way people search, and it can be debated, why it didn't. Personally, I still hit Enter out of reflex, so do my friends asked) Edit (regarding to the conversation below) This list of "assumptions" was based on the following background materials:
I'm sure I could quote Krug's Don't Make Me Think as well (never bothered to read it fully), or Nielsen. However, all of this is old research. (Well, except for my Google Instant claim in the comments, which also had an English test) So the question rephrased is: what would make these researches outdated between 2010-2012? And to which the answer is a bit more complex. I have only models mostly, but these models are pretty sound. One question is, "how do people form habits" and "how do people remember usage patterns" for which the answers could be found in, for example, Weinschenk's 100 Things Every Desiner Needs To Know About People, where she explains the contemporary knowledge about such learnings. And there, we can see it written plainly, that people learn new things if they need them to reach a goal, and they form habits if they have to do that frequently. For example, I've never learnt five-finger-typing as I'm typing fast enough this way as well) So, our question is: was there any application gaining mainstream popularity in the target group which forced people to unlearn the habit of searching for a search button and clicking it, but using enter instead? I don't know, I don't know the exact target group, but I guess the answer is no. But our target group also moved. The target group of this question was people between 40-60, now they're between 42-62. We know, that people's learning abilities degrade drastically between the age of 40-45. The researches I've read about these are originally in Russian, and were written in the 80s, when it wasn't a custom to translate them to English. This is actually an S-shaped curve, but people who were already over 45 were unlikely to learn new "muscle reflex" habits, especially, if their knowledge on how to use a computer have served them well so far. The internet population has grown about 10 percent between 2010-2012. There was a large growth between 2008 and 2010 in the target age group (at least from the US), and we have data for 2012 as well. We shouldn't deal with people over 50 (based on the Russian research), so the question is, that at most 10% increase of people between 30-49 would account for habitual changes. But I guess I should left this exercise for the reader. My basic assumption is, and this is an assumption, that if Norman's models are correct, and if all the quoted researches are correct, then people who didn't have to learn this enter thingy didn't learn it in 2 years, and that the target group didn't move that much in 2 years that a majority would've fallen out, then no significant changes would show up. Honestly, I've seen things with poor visibility and mapping issues which UI developers of the 80s expected people to learn soon and that never ever happened. This includes confirm dialogs, keyboard shortcuts, modifier keys. The Norman and Raskin books are full with it, and I'm sure it wouldn't take too much to find a Nielsen rant about it either. It's not that things didn't change in two years: humans didn't change. |
Answering based on the bounty in 2012. Already some good answers here, but I wanted to make a somewhat different point: the discussion has mostly been about whether users need to the button in order to successfully use the search. But I believe we should also think about what happens before the user takes that action. How do they find your search? The search button can serve as an indicator. On a busy page or if your search element is non-standard place (ie, not in the top right) the visual scan to find that action may be difficult. Of course, the importance of having that strong indicator depends on your site's intent, design and audience. Search is vital for Stackoverflow (or UX), but its audience is savvy and the design puts the search in a standard location and it's contrasted well with the background. If your audience is less savvy and/or the search is a critical path for site use, you might want to consider keeping it. To pick on the super-awesome Stackexchange a bit, I was looking at their English Language site. Here's the search interface: Easy for me to use, I'm very familiar with their suite of sites. But an older user who comes there looking for grammatical help? A search button could make it more clear. Though I'd argue that make the search background white would be most helpful. |
Unless the question is more specific, a simple answer is not possible. If the search yields a small number of results, then likely (but not necessarily) it would allow a live search and result interface. As you get results updated each keystroke, there's probably no need for a search button. What is this searching for? Is it searching text in a database index (e.g. a web index), searching a library of images, etc? What the specific context is should be taken into serious consideration before a decision is made to exclude a search button. I have seen too many people of the old and new generation interface design fall into the same trap of going through the motions of design totally blinded by preconceptions. On a separate note. When a search button is present, it helps users to connect mentally to the action of instigating a search. Besides the mind and action connection, the search button is a valueable interface element to provide cues about search progress. The button can be disabled showing that a search is underway, and the interface can show a progress bar if the search usually takes a few seconds or more. Without this clear and unambiguous time reference as pressing a search button these affordances aren't viable. Using the enter key by itself without a button in this way is nowhere near as effective. On the purely visual side of things, the button is also a cue that the search field is not something else entirely. So the search button indirectly labels your text entry element as a search field. Some contraptions (e.g. image icons) can assist in providing such cue but the simple button does so unequivocally without having to devise other cues. |
I would always error on the side of usability, even for technical audiences. For non-technical audiences, it can be even more vital to include it as they may not know you can simply hit enter to submit the form. The button can be styled to match the layout, so I would keep it. |
The only way to know for sure, for your specific audience, is to run an A/B test - show half your users a text box with a search button and half a box without, see if there's any difference in behavior. Be sure to read about how to conduct an effective A/B test before starting. Or, if you don't care that much and don't want all the trouble of actually finding out, just leave the button there. |
Semantically, a submit button is used to submit a form. Like Esko Luontola mentioned, you could skip the button if the search was continuously updated via comet server, since that's not really "submitting" the form. But if performing a search requires that a form be submit and the page be redirected or reloaded then yes I think you should definitely have a search button since that is exactly what the submit button is intended to do. |
You should always have a search button for this reason... When you type a search term and hit enter in one go that is fine. But when you type the term, do something else and come back to the page (perhaps took a phone call or whatever) or clicked back in the browser, then you are left wondering how to action the search without a button. |
I had a complex search form consisting mostly of drop-downs that auto-submitted whenever a form input's value changed (using jQuery). This worked well, but without an This was solved by putting a submit button hidden by CSS inside the form. If you are intent on getting rid of the search button, make sure the search field is labelled clearly as 'Search', with a label (preferably inline, like SO) of some sort to guide the user. The user should never have to ponder, "How do I search?" |
I've never conducted an experiment on removing the submit button from a search field, but I have conducted one on a similarly structured form. The following should apply to search as well. A long time ago on my website, I had a text field and button for submitting a comment. I removed the submit button because I thought that pointing and clicking at the button would waste the user's time. So I wanted to promote submission of comments by pressing the enter key. I collected stats on this change and did not see any decrease in the number of comments submitted. This seems to imply that if there is no button, people will naturally try the next best thing - hit the enter key - to submit the comment. What else are they supposed to do? Give up? No! |
There are more than one answer for this question. The primary deciders are: 1. Space, 2. Audience When you have a website which has less content to show when the user lands (e.g using a landing page to your product website), you have the liberty of using a search box as well as a search button to go along with it. But when you have got a website with loads of information spread across the page, you don't want it to add to the clutter using a search button. Moreover, as everyone else pointed out, audience matters. However, the thing to wonder here, are a few questions: Is a search button that necessary? Isn't it obvious? Can't it be avoided? Isn't it redundant? I think mentioning the text "Search for stuff here" in the search box is a great way to go. You can dress it up with a magnifying glass in one side to give it the feel. |

I was born in a hot town in Brazil called Fortaleza. As a child, drew the edges of notebooks during class and drew stories using my friends as characters, so I was never a good student. After a disastrous attempt at Chemistry College, I found my way studying Arts in Cefet-CE and follow my studies doing Post Graduation in Digital Design.
Today I work as a designer in the City Hall, create arts for many T-shirt shops, design concepts for children's books and games.

Excellent cheddar potatoes & 3-way chili potatoes. Very friendly staff - we go here often & highly recommend it.
8345 Us 31 S, Indianapolis, IN
Great food! The service has been awesome with no issues!!
5706 Mayfield Road, Lyndhurst, OH
There are a few gluten free choices. Baked potato and chili is gluten free. Just have to male sure they leave the butter off the potato. My son also likes the cheesy potato. Gets it a lot a d has never been sick
199 Martha Layne Collins Blvd, Cold Spring, KY
No, you can't eat the spaghetti and no one pretends that you can have the buns and crackers, but their fries are GF and my gluten-free daughter can go through the chili cheese fries by the ton without getting sick, which is really impressive. One of the few places she lets us take her.
7189 Beechmont Avenue, Cincinnati, OH
Sometimes I go there, there aren't any problems. Sometimes, there are. If you are really sensitive, I wouldn't go. Their canned sauces in the store are gluten free. So, you could have "Cincinnati Chili" at home.
8345 Us 31 S, Indianapolis, IN
Does not have a gluten free menu. Employees not knowledgable about gluten free items served.
I'm impressed. They have a gluten free menu that has lots of options besides "salad". Additionally, the restaurant is clean, well run, and employees seem to enjoy working here. Among the other fast food restaurants in this shopping center, this would be my first choice .
7100 Alexandria Pike, Alexandria, KY
very good with changing gloves and listening to my concerns.
8906 Kingsridge Drive, Centerville, OH 45458-1619
Great salads and the chili cheese fries are a wonderful treat.
7189 Beechmont Avenue, Cincinnati, OH
Friendly staff, several GF options. Get a three way on a baked potato!
Can't vouch for all the staff, but our regular waitress will do whatever it takes to get it right.
1007 Vine Street, cincinnati, OH
Some food is gluten free, but cross contamination may be a concern for some. The staff did not seem aware about gluten. The food is as you would expect for skyline. My rating is just based on GF not the food.
3928 Dutchmans Lane, Louisville, KY
Horrible. Made me extremely sick! The staff didn't seem to know anything about gluten free preparation and everything was cross contaminated!
1530 Cross Creeks Blvd., Pickerington, OH
Worst! I ordered a chili with cheese, it took three tries to make sure that there were no onions in my chili and then $5 after when I was about to indulge in the chili, I open the Container about the same size as the Wendy's Large Chili only to find that my chili had no cheese and that the container was about half full. I called the store to complain, the manager promised to bring something by and leave it at the front desk at work, and it was never delivered. Bad service, lack of follow through and not the best good for $5 I have had. I won't be going back.
2511 East Sharon Road, Sharonville, OH
Server was unfriendly and staff didn't want to have to change their gloves :(
2054 Crown Plaza Dr., Columbus, OH
Wow! Great GF menu and they even have GF rolls they bring to the table. Serve was great food was awesome.
2511 East Sharon Road, Sharonville, OH
horrible service would have gave 0 but wont let
coney bowl and a steamed potato. make sure to get the sweet tea too. $10 including the tip and a peppermint pattie to finish the meal.
1559 Main Street, Hamilton, OH 45013
I was very surprised to discover that their chilli was GF, this is wonderful because now I can eat in-restaurant, instead of always preparing chilli dogs at home. A great thing to see in a popular restaurant chain, only thing that could make this better was GF spaghetti noodles for complete GF Skyline.

These infections are caused by a specific group of viruses. The viruses can spread through:
The viruses can also spread by direct contact with an ill person. This is common in a daycare center or nursing home.
Any person who ingests the virus is at risk of getting this infection. Older children and adults commonly get this infection.
Even if you have been infected with norovirus in the past, you can become ill again if:
If you have any of these do not assume it is due to norovirus. These may be caused by other health conditions. Symptoms may include:
Symptoms often appear within 24-48 hours of exposure to the virus. Symptoms often last about 24-60 hours.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your doctor may determine you have a stomach flu from your symptoms. It is rarely necessary to determine the exact virus causing the infection. Stool and blood samples may be taken if your doctor wants to know the exact type of virus causing the problem.
A norovirus infection will go away on its own. Medical treatment is often not needed since the illness is often brief and mild.
Most people will recover by resting and drinking plenty of fluids. Oral rehydration solutions are the best option to help replace fluids and electrolytes. These can be found in most drugstores. Severe dehydration may require IV fluids in a hospital but this is a rare complication.
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses. There are no antiviral medications or vaccines used to fight or prevent this infection.
To help reduce your chance of getting or passing noroviruses take the following steps:

Mattioli III leaving Pocono Raceway
Monday - 1/28/2013, 12:18pm EST
LONG POND, Pa. (AP) - The son of the late Joseph "Doc" Mattioli is stepping down as a member of the Board of Directors at Pocono Raceway, the track founded by his father.
The track announced Monday that Joseph R. Mattioli, III was leaving after a four-decade career at Pocono, including a stint as president and chief operating officer.
Mattioli III said the time was right to step down with the raceway now in the "very capable hands" of the next generation.
Doc Mattioli died last January. Current track president Brandon Igdalsky is Doc Mattioli's grandson and Joseph Mattioli III's nephew.
The track said the younger Mattioli planned to focus more time working with veterans organizations that he has supported.
Pocono has long been a stop for two races on NASCAR's Sprint Cup circuit.

A wiki is a collaborative website which can be directly edited by anyone with access to it. One of the best-known wikis is Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia whose content is contributed by its users. At NAU, a variety of wiki tools are in use, including Confluence, PB Wiki, WetPaint, and the collaborative online Office Suite, Google Docs and more recently Google Sites. Bb Learn has a wiki too, and we'll explore both how and why/when a wiki might be a good choice for a student activity.

His hardware is supported by Mesa (and very well so), but when he's too lazy to install the drivers and relies on what is shipped by his outdated distro (or choose another distro), well, that's not a good thing for a developer, to put it kindly.
Phoronix: More Details On The OpenGL Situation In KDE's KWin
A week ago we reported on the open-source GPU drivers causing headaches for KDE users when attempting to use the KWin compositing manager under certain conditions. Version 4.5 of the KDE Software Compilation has a few improvements to KWin and while the compositing manager does check for optional OpenGL extensions, the open-source Mesa drivers don't always do things right and it's resulted in some bugs and other issues inflicting KDE users...
His hardware is supported by Mesa (and very well so), but when he's too lazy to install the drivers and relies on what is shipped by his outdated distro (or choose another distro), well, that's not a good thing for a developer, to put it kindly.
Well, apparently he's an unpaid volunteer doing all this in his free time. So if he just wants to develop for the Nvidia blob, then that's his right. IMO the failure here is with KDE for relying on him to provide such an essential part of the desktop.
The point is that he claims that he doesn't "want" to develop for the blob but that he doesn't have any other choice, which is not true. He can update his X/Mesa/Driver stack on his own or switch to another distro.
Yeah I didn't buy that either
Even more so since installing a second distro just for test runs with dual boot is even easier than switching your main one.
They're a work in progress. For the most part, I don't hear those devs making lame excuses about why their stuff doesn't run perfectly yet (unlike this Kwin developer or Adobe).
At any rate, patches and useful bug reports would probably be more helpful than whining about it on phoronix.com
what ?! what a giant pile of FUD >:(
i have radeon 4730 (_R770_) with mesa(no gallium), libdrm, xf86-video-ati from git and 2.6.35 kernel AND KDE 4.5.1. compositing works fine (even though i don't use it and enable only once in a while to test driver updates) and X never crashes.
"blur" effect does not blur anything however - all still looks clear as it wasn't enabled (or maybe there is some obscure misconfiguration) but there is no such thing as artefacts or crashes.
...if you not count shitload of regressions in "OMG-stable-bug_fixing-4.5-release" of KDE which constantly kill kwin (effects disabled) and make plasma leak memory.
if you use something like "Debian Stable" it doesn't mean your system automatically becomes, literally, stable as rock. it means that your system preventing you from encountering any drastic changes - _good and bad_.
i'm sorry that we live in a world where corporate greed and stupidity result in shitty work of otherwise functioning product but there are efforts to change that and very fruitful ones.
and in order to benefit from those you MUST get ahold of those changes _or_ wait for their "stabilization" and point your attention in other areas for a time being.
it's not optional, it's either former or later.
but dude "just doesn't have a time" for such silliness.
probably, it "should just work" ? riiiight...
and, "lack of communication" my ass. he doesn't even try to answer to Marek Olák there and here - OSS graphic stack developers all over the damn place.
his only problem is that he do NOT CARE MUCH.
but it's ok - "desktop effects" is a useless bullshit anyway. unless there is some truly 3D desktop environment based on different usability concepts and not just fake sense of depth it's all just doesn't matter much.

In a typical day, except for short breaks, the experts in your command center will be spending six to eight hours each day sitting in front of their desks. The right command center furniture is crucial in allowing your key decision makers and systems operators to focus on their mission-critical work, rather than worry about ergonomic discomfort.
Understand, to Command
Determining needs starts with understanding how your operators will be using the furniture on a day-to-day basis. Conduct interviews with your team, take digital photos of the work area to be modified, and do a quick estimation of exactly how many computer consoles you will need. Not only for now, but also for when your project expands.
ImageVision can help you select the best furniture for your project by using our many years of experience and expertise helping clients design their command center. You can give us a call, a fax, or contact us via e-mail.
Made to Last
Our products are made to last, with a rugged, all-steel construction designed for 24/7 industrial and commercial use. Steel furniture also dissipates heat far more effectively than wood or pressed-wood furniture. Modular control consoles give you the ability to alter your furniture to meet your needs without paying for custom steel fabrication, and allow you to make easy modification as your business scales up or down. Our units ship fully assembled for fast and easy installation.
All Your Command Center Furniture Needs
We offer furniture to suit the exact requirements of your command center. With options for rear doors and rear pull-out trays, our furniture allows for easy maintenance of your systems with little operator disturbance. Our all-black command center furniture provides a background that makes the screens stand out visually from the support structure of the monitor tiers. ImageVision consoles can also be constructed with privacy panels, producing an optimum environment for reducing operator distraction and increasing productivity.
Check out our all steel AgileVIEW consoles for a clean showroom finish command center.
Modular, all-steel tables and desks to accommodate most types and sizes of flat screen displays.

Wednesday, January 04, 2012 - 9:00am
Join us at Dance Effects in Downtown Campbell for Zumba. We now offer 7 classes a week! All Zumba classes have choreography that can be followed on the spot, but beginner zumba will help a new student feel even more comfortable by focusing on the basics and very simple choreography.
Zumba: A fusion of hypnotic rhythms and tantalizing moves inspired by Latin and world dances to create a dynamic workout that is fun and easy to do. Zumba students burn between 500-1000 calories per hour moving to fun rhythms such as cha cha, salsa, belly dance, samba, merengue, flamenco and more! And there's nothing to memorize!
Sheila believes in safely working out every muscle in the body during her classes. A slow warmup prepares the upper and lower body for lots of chest, hip, shoulder, leg, and abdominal action with dancey but simple low impact moves. She always ends with a cooldown/stretch and believes that increased flexibility leads to a greater range of motion, and therefore more fun and more fat burning.
Class times are as follows: Mondays at 6:30PM, Tuesdays at 9AM; Wednesdays at 9AM & 10:05AM; Thursdays at 9AM; Saturdays at 8:30am and Sundays at 7PM. Wed 10:05AM is for beginners. Cost is $12 per session, drop-in. $100 for 10 classes. 1st class free! For more information, please visit Sheila's Zumba website.

Help & Advice
How to guides
How to repair your fence or gate
Wooden gates and fences can be prone to rot, or to attacks by insects. To prolong their life, try and treat them regularly with wood preservative. It's also a good idea to avoid piling earth up against your fence, and to fit gravel boards at its base.
Top tip - Wood preservative
A coat of preservative will dramatically extend the life of your fence or gate, as most treatments keep fungi and insects at bay for several years. As the wood needs to be completely dry, the best time to apply it is in late summer after a dry period, and when no rain is expected for a day or so. Paint it on with a block paintbrush or use a garden pressure spray - making sure to wear protective gloves (and safety goggles and a mask too, if you're spraying).
Buying guides
Gates buying guide
There is a wide choice of garden gates and as well as the obvious access benefits they can really help complete the look of your fence, wall or hedge boundary. Gates come in a whole raft of different designs and generally are either wood or metal, so whether you want a decorative entrance to your driveway or a privacy gate in your back garden fence, be sure to choose the best one for you.
Once you've selected your design there are a few key points to consider before you buy your gate:
- How wide will your gate need to be – remember to leave a bit of room for your hinges and locks if needed.
- How and where will you hang the gate – you can either attach your gate to a wall, brick or concrete piers, or hang it from timber posts.
- Which way will the gate open – some designs will have left and right-handed opening versions.
More Information
With a selection of natural screening, netting, fencing, posts and gates, Blooma can help you to create a safe haven for you and your family. From marking a boundary, to screening a less attractive corner of your garden, or simply adding height and interest, Blooma has all the kit to make your outside living space beautiful, safe and secure. And with a variety of materials, including natural wood and metal, there is bound to be something to suit you.

forget about the "conflicting licences" they just copy and paste the default licence of their private drivers on top of the free public driver, just read the GPLv2 inside the drivers, that's the one that matters.
Also, remember, this is the FIRST time ever creative launches a totally free open source driver in history.
Creative also pointed out in the forums that they have plans to continue to develop the drivers with help of the comunity, there are already a fix to their drivers with support for X-Fi Titanium, if you read the forums, creative is now actively taking notice of their drivers and the community, I suspect this interaction (as all open source interactions) will speed up the process of a working 5.1 full OpenAL driver.
I would say, it is very safe to buy a Creative X-Fi now, due to the way the drivers have taken from now on...

I am a board-certified dermatologist who specializes in dermatologic surgery. My practice is focused on skin cancer surgery and skin reconstruction. I have received fellowship training in Mohs micrographic surgery. Used primarily to treat squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC), Mohs surgery allows the surgeon to pinpoint and remove cancerous tissue while conserving healthy skin. I direct a team of highly skilled physician assistants, nurses, patient care technicians, and laboratory staff serving patients who are diagnosed with skin cancers that are treatable with Mohs surgery.
In addition to SCC and BCC, I also provide a variety of surgical treatments for early stage melanoma, atypical nevus, and other rare forms of skin cancers such as dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, atypical fibroxanthoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, sebaceous carcinoma, porocarcinoma, and microcystic adnexal carcinoma.
I collaborate closely with our dermatologists in the institution and colleagues in the community to emphasize the importance of skin cancer prevention and to ensure continuity of skin surveillance for our patients. I am always interested in refining the techniques and services in a dermatologic surgery practice. My goal is to provide high quality and compassionate care to our patients. I also have a PhD degree in pathology. My research interests include wound healing and skin cancer biology.
