Comment 3 for bug 1018678

ferrouswheel, I realize it's a bit odd for the search field to disappear. But as I explained in bug 828790, the problem is that it wouldn't be clear what should be searched. For example, if you clicked on "Periodic Table" in the "Top Rated" area of the home screen, and then you entered text in the search field from the application screen, what should it search? (a) All software, (b) Science & Engineering, (c) Chemistry, or (d) the 60 Top Rated? If you can think of a good way to make this obvious, I'd be delighted.
