Searchable Menu Video

For some reason, blogs.gnome.org doesn’t let me upload webm or ogv files. Go watch a video of searchable menus on Google+. Some notes on what’s going on:

  • The initial menu items are not specified by Nautilus. The menu is populated with items based on tags in the Mallard help files.
  • Start typing to search. This is searching on title and desc elements from the GNOME desktop help. The results are filtered to only include pages relevant to Nautilus. The scroll arrows showing momentarily as you type is an unfortunate glitch I hope to iron out.
  • Click a topic and Yelp opens immediately to that topic.
  • What’s more, Yelp knows that you arrived there from a menu item you got after searching in a menu, and offers a link at the top to perform a full text search on your search terms.
