Implement one off search UI for about:home and about:newtab.
UX: bug 1106057

Comment 1

[(inactive) Nihanth Subramanya [:nhnt11]]

Attachment: WIP

What's done:
- UI implementation
- Keyboard/mouse interactions

What's left:
- l10n of strings used in searchSuggestionUI.js
- Search engine icons should be passed in a more efficient way (ArrayBuffers?)
- Search suggestions on about:newtab are broken (but easily fixable, and we get the new suggestions UI for free)
- Make about:home also use ContentSearch.jsm
- Fix up about:newtab
- Waiting on icons from shorlander

What I want feedback on:
- Keyboard/mouse interactions! I think I covered everything but I may have missed something or the other. There are a couple of slightly hacky workarounds (to keep the searchbox in focus after a mousedown on the suggestions table for example) - they need comments, which will come in the next patch.
- UI/CSS (adw recommended you for this, Florian :))

I know there's some code duplication and unnecessary CSS and stuff, so I suggest you avoid doing a code review for now. I'll request r? once I think it's ready for it. I wanted to upload a patch and start getting some feedback on the interactions without too much further ado.

I assume you want me to try the patch and see if I notice details that need fixing. Here are some issues I've found. I'm not claiming that all of them need fixing before the patch gets r+.

About the behavior of the panel in general:
- the provider icons are pixelated on my retina screen.
- you are missing the vertical gray bar after the last provider icon.
- Hovering a one-off button shows a tooltip saying "Search with [object Object]"
- the "Search for WORD with:" line needs fixing. (it's obvious, but you didn't mention in your todo list, so I'm listing it here just in case you forgot about it)
- clicking the first gray bar at the top should start a search with the default engine.
- I haven't been able to figure out the steps to reproduce, but in some cases I ended up with the "Search" placeholder of the text field replaced by a string containing several search provider names. I'm sure I saw "Search Yahoo Yahoo" once. I saw a longer string that seemed to include all the provider names once. Maybe check if you have any code touching that placeholder?
- your .getEngines() call should be replaced with getVisibleEngines() otherwise hiding some one-offs from the pref UI doesn't have any visible effect.
- due to the previous point, I haven't been able to verify how your patch behaves if there are more one-off engines than can fit on a single line, nor if all the engines have been unchecked in the preference panel.

About keyboard interaction (I'm assuming this is expected to match the searchbox UI) :
- I think the Escape key should close the panel, but that can be a follow-up as the previous suggestion panel didn't handle that key.
- I'm always surprised that the <tab> key closes the panel and focuses the -> button instead of focusing the first one-off item.
- alt+up/down should cycle through the one-off buttons. It currently behaves like up/down without 'alt'.
- command+up/down should change the default engine.
- when a one-off button is selected from the keyboard (blue background on it), if the textfield is empty, pressing <enter> should load the search form of that search engine. Same for clicking these buttons in that case.

About CSS/theming:
- the color of the borders you use within the panel not matching the color of the panel's border doesn't feel good.
- I kinda think the panel would look better if it had rounder corners matching the rounded corners of the search box it's attached to.
- the hover background color of the "Change Search Settings" button doesn't feel good. I wonder if we would get something better by imitating the behaviors of the Downloads/Bookmarks/... buttons at the bottom of about:home.
- the focus ring of the "->" button (you see it when pressing <tab> while the input field is focused) would look much better if it matched the shape of the button. This kind of detail can usually get fixed by removing the padding or margin on one of the elements.
- the height of the 2 gray bars in the panel being smaller than the height of one suggestion item doesn't look great.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I don't have anything to add to what Florian said regarding the feedback you requested except that all SearchSuggestionUI DOM elements should probably have their IDs and classes prefixed with something like "searchSuggestion", as is the case now, to avoid name conflicts since search suggestions are designed to be dropped into any page.

Stuff that's fixed in this new version:

> - the provider icons are pixelated on my retina screen.
Search engine data is now provided by ContentSearch.jsm, and icons are passed as ArrayBuffer references.
-moz-resolution is correctly applied for retina displays.
> - you are missing the vertical gray bar after the last provider icon.

l10n stuff is fixed.

This is weird: the code is now using ContentSearch.jsm's state object's engines array, which is populated using getVisibleEngines(). However, getVisibleEngines() is returning hidden engines as well! I haven't figured out what's going on yet.

Multi-line one-off buttons is working now.

I've changed this to be closer to the buttons at the bottom like you suggested, see if you like it better now?

I reduced the font size and padding on the suggestions and increased the padding to match on the headers. They are equally sized now, and the dropdown occupies roughly the same amount of space.

I've started work to deduplicate stuff in both about:home and about:newtab and do everything in searchSuggestionUI.js, tab-content.js, and ContentSearch.jsm. It's getting there - search now works through searchSuggestionUI.js in about:newtab (and could theoretically work in any page, as long as support is added in tab-content.js!). However, it's still using AboutHome:* events to do searches, which are picked up and executed by AboutHome.jsm. This needs to be moved to ContentSearch.jsm, which is what I want to do next.

searchSuggestionUI.js now requests and receives search engine data directly from ContentSearch.jsm.

After this work is complete, I want to focus on fixing up the tests for searchSuggestionUI.

adw and I think we can leave the remaining keyboard navigation stuff for a follow-up bug, and focus on fixing tests as priority to land this.

Again, I don't think you should spend much time looking at all the code in this patch. I'm requesting feedback mostly to confirm that my approach for communicating with ContentSearch.jsm is fine (if it's hard to tell from glancing through the patch, I can discuss it in person @adw).

@flo, I'd also like quick feedback on how it looks now.

I'd also appreciate it if you could try out the search UI from about:newtab and confirm that it's working correctly (though it's still going through AboutHome.jsm).

You forgot to hg add the svg files ;) Also, can you combine the 2 magnifying glass files in one ? (See content-contextmenu.svg in our code)

I'm not sure what you specifically need feedback about. I saw lots of the things I pointed out in my previous round of feedback have been fixed, and a few remain.

About the appearance, this is the colors I see: http://i.imgur.com/uzTp7mW.png It seems there are still several difference nuances of gray there. Note that the hover background-color of the "change search settings" item doesn't disappear when the mouse is moved out of the panel.

On about:newtab, things seem to work. The panel is aligned with the textbox rather than with the glass icon, which means the text of the suggestions isn't aligned with the text the user typed.

Ping me on IRC if you need more detailed feedback.

Review of attachment 8616319 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

My comments focus on the searchSuggestionUI and ContentSearch changes.

This really expands the UI beyond suggestions.  It's now a full-fledged in-content search UI to match chrome's, so we should think about taking "suggestions" out of the names of the files and identifiers.  Like, just contentSearchUI.  That's fine for a follow-up though (but fine for this bug too IMO if you'd like!).

I expect a future patch, when you move everything to ContentSearch, to replace the new CustomEvents with the existing ContentSearchClient event, like what newtab's search.js does, right?  http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/base/content/newtab/search.js#136

It looks like you removed the parts that fixed bug 1115616 related to the input and IME.  We'll need to make sure we don't ultimately regress that.

This makes setting and getting the current/default engine asymmetrical: the setter takes an object with name and icon properties, but there are two getters, one for name and one for icon.  I only mention it because all three are public.  If it were _setDefaultEngine instead, an internal implementation detail, that would be OK with me.  So I think you should either make the setter "private," or you should replace the two getters with a single getter symmetric to the setter.

I guess there's no reason to keep the setter private, and indeed the engineName setter wasn't private, so I vote for the latter.

I'd prefer this to be called onCommand or something since it's called on Return or click, and it can do something other than searching depending on what's selected.  An onCommand that looks at the event and what's selected and then calls a search() or showSettings() makes sense to me.

This is bad for l10n because it assumes how the larger string is constructed from its substrings, but that can be different in different languages.  Normally we'd just use nsIStringBundle.formatStringFromName, but that's not available here.  I think you're going to have to send a message to ContentSearch asking for it to call formatStringFromName for you and send back the result.  I'm not sure what the state of the art in front-end e10s is for this.

tab-content.js can access strings, so we could avoid a round trip between chrome and content by having ContentSearchMediator owning all the strings instead of ContentSearch.jsm.  How's that sound?

Would be great to localize all this arithmetic to a small number of orthogonal methods whose job is nothing but that.  I don't have a great idea off the top of my head, but maybe you can think of something.

Is this really necessary?  beforeunload handlers prevent pages from being stored in the back-forward cache ("bfcache").  Maybe not a big deal for about:home/newtab, but would be good to avoid if possible.  What's the problem you're solving?

Attachment: Patch v1

OK, I think this is mostly ready for review! Note that I haven't modified the newtab page's searchbar UI. I think that can be done as a follow up once bug 1167601 lands.
Please note that there may be stuff left to do in newtab's search.js. I will request review on that once I have looked at it.

I've modified this slightly, but I think I'll just ask the UX people to specify the exact colours.

The search is no longer happening using a form's onsubmit event, so we no longer forcibly update the inputbox's value before the submit event fires. I think we're fine, let me know if I'm missing something.

We discussed this in person: the problem with formatStringFromName is that we have separate styling on the text the user has typed. In any case, this has precedent in the toolbar searchbar's panel UI.

As discussed in person, I think it's a good UX to immediately hide the dropdown UI when a search loads in the same tab (which is the purpose of this listener). It provides immediate feedback that the search has been performed while the actual search page loads (which can take a few seconds on some providers, depending on the connection).

Attachment: Patch v2

Some improvements and cleanup in ContentSearch.jsm. Also cleaned up newtab's search.js and renamed searchSuggestionUI* to contentSearchUI*.

Also I forgot to mention, I have not yet looked at the related tests. That will be the next thing I work on.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some comments on the JS and markup parts.  I'll look at the CSS next and remove the r? for now since there are some substantive questions below.

When you mouse down on a suggestion, the arrow button blinks: it turns gray (blurred) and then quickly turns blue again.  It's pretty annoying.  You can clearly see it by holding down the mouse button before releasing it.  When I'm not trying to reproduce it that way, it only happens sometimes.  I couldn't reproduce with the old UI even for slow-loading search pages, so I presume it's something you can fix.  If it's too hard to fix, and maybe it is because of the careful interaction around mouse clicks you've implemented, we can do that in a follow-up.

Hmm, something's wrong but I can't reproduce it 100% of the time.  I tried with an IME, and sometimes clicking a suggestion while the IME input was not "finalized" (not sure what the right term is) triggered the search immediately, but other times I saw bug 1115616, where clicking a suggestion finalized the IME input but kept the search dropdown open, and then a second click would work normally and search for the input that was finalized.

Let's document the two parameters that we expect clients to be using right now.  Doesn't preclude us from adding more in the future of course.

Now that I think about it, I think we should enforce that both searchParams are non-null.  As in, `throw new Error()` if either is null.  There shouldn't be any case in the browser where either the FHR key or the search purpose isn't specified, since both are important pieces of information.

I think that might have implications for what the constructor's params should be.  Personally, when I see a function that has some non-default params followed by a params object that defaults to {}, it makes me think that the params in the params object are all optional.  Maybe that's just me.  I'll let you change or not change the params how you like.

Hmm, I don't know whether aria-activedescendant should go on _table or _suggestionsList/_oneOffsTable.  I would guess always _table since it's the top-level container.  I'll flag Marco for feedback.  Anyhow, nice work keeping it updated.

If there's no engine name, something is weirdly wrong, and it should be OK to bail early from the method right here.  No need to addInputValueToFormHistory() below in that case I think.

Sorry, I blew it when I OK'ed this ownerDocument change in the other whereToOpenLink bug.  The document lives in the content process, so when you send it over to chrome, it's wrapped in a cross-process object wrapper ("CPOW"), which is like a last-resort way of dealing with e10s that we should avoid.

This is kind of a separate bug, but since you're touching this code, would you mind fixing it?  Fortunately it doesn't look like we need target or ownerDocument since whereToOpenLink doesn't need them.  Am I reading that right?  Maybe they were left over from an earlier version of your patch in the other bug?

Hmm, we could do away with these attributes on the input now that this prototype completely handles searching.  It looks like they were added only because about:home/newtab had their own search boxes but search suggestions were unified (http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/57b1a2b98388).

We don't need selection-index at all anymore since it's the same thing as this.selectedIndex.  selection-kind is either "key" or "mouse", and it looks like your patch removes where "mouse" is set, so at the least that should be fixed.  But I think you should pass the kind to onCommand.  _onKeypress would pass "key", and _onMouseUp would pass "key".  What do you think about that?

Why get engines here?  Isn't getting them on construction and then being notified when they change via the CurrentState message enough?

There's a CurrentEngine message that you're not currently listening for (and neither is the current searchSuggestionUI.js).  It's sent when the current engine changes.  I think you should probably listen for that too and then you don't need this?  What happens now with your patch when you change the current engine is that when the dropdown opens, you briefly see the old engine in the header before it's replaced with the new one.  I'm guessing you'll see the old one for as long as it takes for suggestions to arrive, based on this code here.

I think getting the engines here is also causing some flickering of the one-off button icons I'm seeing (on my slow debug build) since getting the engines causes the buttons to be rebuilt.

Assuming that the dropdown's width is 421 isn't great, even if that's the case right now for about:home/newtab.  And actually the dropdown may be wider than that.  Its minWidth is the width of the input but its maxWidth is based on the window's width (see _onMsgSuggestions).  Can't you use _table.getBoundingClientRect() or something?

And please move the magic 49 number up top to a const.

Sorry, I wasn't clear.  Having clients call controller.search() makes more sense than onCommand().  I was suggesting an _onCommand internal to the controller that sends ManageEngines if the manage-button is selected but otherwise calls search().

Patch v2

Review of attachment 8617122 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Marco, would you mind making sure that we're using aria attributes correctly?  You looked at a similar patch for when search suggestions on about:home originally landed in bug 612453.  This probably isn't the final patch, but the aria parts should be final.

First I'll describe what the DOM looks like and then I'll ask my two specific questions.

We have an html:input with an html:table "attached" to it that's styled to look like the one-off search dropdown.  The table has three children: another table to hold search suggestions, another table to hold the search provider buttons, and an html:button to open the search preferences.  Each of the suggestions and search provider buttons can be highlighted/selected.

contentSearchUI/searchSuggestionUI is designed to be able to be dropped into any page, so it's probably not a good idea to use selectors that aren't somehow "namespaced" to it.  In other words, I think each selector in this file should start with "contentSearch" or "searchSuggestion".  But it's probably OK for terms in the selector after the first term not to be namespaced.

Is that done similarly to the search box in the navigation toolbar of the main Firefox UI, e. g. up and down arrow from the input selects search suggestions, and tab moves to the one-off buttons and finally to the search preferences button?

If the actual keyboard focus never leaves the html:input, aria-activedescendant should go on that input. Because all aria-activedescendant does is fire fake focus events, but the reference must always be the item with actual keyboard focus.

On the inner. The outer groups not only the search suggestions, but also the one-off buttons together, so that would be incorrect. The ohter might be good to have a role of "presentation", and the table that contains the one-off buttons gets a role of "group". Are the one-off buttons themselves true html:button elements or faked ones done with html:span?

Navigation with the tab key has not yet been implemented, but the goal is to mimic the search box in the navigation toolbar as much as possible.

- One-off search popup lacks box-shadow like in the mockup ( 0 0 4px hsla(210,4%,10%,.2) )
- clicking the magnifier doesn't open the one-off search popup, which isn't consistent with the navbar searchbar
- Old new tab search UI is still there (but I'm guessing it's going to be removed in a future patch)

Those values are from the Windows arrow panel styling which looks pretty similar (and was designed by shorlander as well) ;)

Attachment: Patch v3

Stuff that's new in this patch:
- Clicking the default engine header fires a search with the default engine.
- Update newTab.xul and newTab.css to match mockup.
- Removed remnants of the search engine logo thing and the search panel in newTab.xul and search.js (I think it still needs to be removed from chrome though)
- "Hidden" one off buttons were still showing up, because I wasn't using the pref that controls this (I thought getVisibleEngines() did the trick). This is now fixed. ContentSearchService listens for a change in the pref and broadcasts a message when it changes.
- Fixed a couple of almost unnoticeable UI bugs.
- Addressed review comments (including Marco's and Tim's)

I found an issue that caused suggestions to be re-fetched (and the list re-populated, causing deselection) when the IME input was finalized. I've fixed this in this patch, and am not experiencing any issues with IME input myself. Please let me know if you still encounter those issues.

In the whereToOpenLink bug this is set to null, not the document. You didn't blow it up afaik ;)

[Marco Zehe (:MarcoZ)]

So I wanted to give this an accessibility review, but I don't see any one-off buttons. The search suggestions work, but one-off buttons don't appear either in about:home or about:newtab. I used the try server build from comment #24.

Comment 27

[Marco Zehe (:MarcoZ)]

Comment on attachment 8620740 [details] [diff] [review]
Patch v3.1

The search input is missing a label. Screen readers will only say something like "edit" or "textbox". The previous search UI had a proper label, although it had been done by associating the image's alternative text to the input via aria-labelledby.

Same goes for the Search button. It needs a label, or screen readers will only call it "button". Right now, it has no semantic information that allows screen readers to know what this button does. How do you indicate this visually? If you do it through CSS generated background images, be aware that these will disappear as soon as you switch Windows to high contrast mode, leaving those sighted people without any semantics, too.

Could you just use Services.prefs.getCharPref() so you don't have to import Preferences.jsm?  Preferences.jsm isn't really buying you anything here.

This change is necessary in this patch because ContentSearchUIController handles focusInput, and the signal needs to come from ContentSearch.jsm.

I know it also fixes that bug as a side affect, but I don't know why ContentSearch.focsuInput() isn't working on the newtab page in the current release (i.e. this isn't a real fix for the existing bug).
I suppose we should also fix the existing bad behavior in another bug and uplift it?

Since you're using the global message manager, you could catch messages unrelated to the tab that the script is running in.  You should just use the addMessageListener() global function to add a listener for this tab.  I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that even the messages that ContentSearch sends to the global message manager get dispatched to each tab's message manager, so there's no danger of missing messages...

As discussed in person, this is listening for the outgoing Search message, not an incoming one - so it's not tab-specific.

Patch v5

Almost there! This now has the correct labels on the buttons, *but* the tab key misbehaves.

1. Focus the search field and start typing.
2. As soon as the field expands to show search results and the one-off buttons, press Tab.

Expected: Search suggestions should remain visible, and the first one-off button should be focused.
Actual: Search suggestions and one-off buttons disappear, and focus goes straight to the Submit Search button.

So while these now have correct labels, it is not possible to act on the one-off buttons as a keyboard user.

Note that on the Mac, you may have to tell the Tab key to focus *all* controls, not just inputs, in System Preferences, keyboard Settings, Shortcuts tab.

Ah, I am aware that keyboard navigation is not yet up to parity with the main searchbar UI (in the toolbar).
I was going to file a follow-up for this to avoid making this patch even larger (there are a few interesting keyboard navigation features to implement).

I guess there's the same issue with searchWithHeader: "Search with:" is concatenated with the searchengine's name?

This looks really broken from a localization point of view, especially considering the strings look similar to what we're already using in the search bar.

Where is abouthome.search.placeholder string used?

Without this patch, Bug 1113731 (I think) could be reproduced in about:home and about:newtab by entering some text, selecting a suggestion using the mouse and pressing Enter. In this case, the text field was updated with the new search string after pressing Enter.

Now, the search is still performed after the suggestion hovered by mouse, but the text field is not updated.

(ux bug 1142334 to determine the correct action)

Should I open a new bug for this considering the old behavior is also wrong? Thank you!

Hmm, considering the implementation and UX have changed almost completely since then, and the problem now is slightly different, I think it would be clearer to file a new bug describing the current problem, and close the old bug.  Could you do that please?

Thanks, Drew. I opened bug 1196677 and let the other one opened since it is about the search toolbar.
