Goals and Objectives

• We currently allow users to search from a text box in the Test menu.
• We would like to add a search box to the toolbar to enable users to do this.
• Spec'd out to target Alpha4 but could be moved to Alpha5.

Summary of Changes

• What's New:
  • Add a search box to the toolbar.
  • Typing in text and clicking enter replaces the current summary table view with the search results.
  • Search results return in the summary pane in a table view.

• • NICE TO HAVE: Magnifying glass next to search box to indicate what this is for.
  • NICE TO HAVE: Enter search mode as soon as the user starts typing text.
  • NICE TO HAVE: Search all collections and return result #s in sidebar.
  • NICE TO HAVE: x-button to cancel search

Risks and Dependencies

• Working with wxwidgets.
• Just UI, we have already hooked this code up to the backend.
• We can continue to debug the searching indexes etc using the test UI, we don't need the search box.
