Leave the keyword in the search textbox after displaying the search result

Posted by Abdu in Web Usability

I prefer to leave the search keyword in the textbox after displaying the search results. I would have it highlighted with focus. This way it serves it could serve the whole audience. For the user who wants to enter a new word, they can start typing and the old word is deleted. For the user who mistyped a long word, they can fix the mistyping instead of retyping the word.
