Search has an annoying problem

Trakt Feature Requests

This is a really small thing, but it happens to me a lot when using search. I click on the search box, and then leave the cursor below the search box while I type. Then after I hit enter to run the search, but if the cursor is located over one of the results that pops up, then it goes straight to that page. And if I type and press enter quickly, then the pop-up results are irrelevant since it didn’t update to the full search term yet, and it will go straight to a random page.

Is there any way this behavior could be improved?

I’ve had a similar experience. I have to move my cursor away from the typing area to make sure it doesn’t hover over a search result and take me to that page instead of the overall search results. Basically exactly as @D3r3k23 described it.

I never click on the search box :see_no_evil_monkey: never even noticed that

I just hit the slash icon (/) to start a search

I didn’t know about that, very helpful!

Although you might still run into this problem if your cursor happens to be in the wrong place.

Also, to be fair to Trakt, your mouse hovering over an “option” and hitting “enter” is correct functionality.

I don’t think I’d agree that it’s the correct behavior. That’s not how the search bar in Google Chrome works. But that’s not a big deal, the real problem is that results are just a little too slow to appear.
