261255 - No search functionality on firefox extensions page, categories are fuzzy

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 247810

(www.mozilla.org :: General, enhancement)

Description

[David Shivak]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.8

Most users now expect a "Search" box at the top of the page to list items of
interest by keyword.  Many users are confused by the categories and just want to
type a keyword.  Have helped several non-techie users install Firefox and all of
them are somewhat confused by the interface.  This will get worse as more
extensions are created, many with multi-category functionality.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to http://update.mozilla.org/
2.  No search bar!
3.  Throw up hands in disgust.

Well, you've duped two bugs in one report. :-) I'm marking this as a dupe of Bug
247810 (adding a search feature) This is also a duplicate of Bug 256388
(categories suck and need changing)
