Do you expect the advanced search to update results instantly (on input instead of clicking APPLY), as do the filters?
She found & used the APPLY button easily. But when asked, she said she would prefer the results to update instantly.
Do you easily recognise when search rules are or are not applied?
She noticed the advanced search and filters easily, but missed the search bar contents several times (since it’s way at the top of the page, and sometimes closes & hides its contents).
Do you miss a clear/reset all button?
She did not seem to need one when building queries. She never added more than 3 queries, and cleared them all individually without complaint. When asked, she said she doesn’t feel the need for a clear all option.
Does clicking CLEAR + APPLY make sense for removing the results from a given query?
No; she expected the results to update instantly when she clicked the CLEAR button, and became confused when they didn’t.
