Improving the Search UX for Steemit

Components

Steemit - Search Results

Proposal

I understand why Steemit uses Google Search but the UX on the results screen could be improved.

As a logged Steemit in user, when performing a search you are taken to a Google Results page but from there you only have three choices.

  1. Choose a search result
  2. Click on the Steemit logo to return to the homepage
  3. Click the browser back button

And if you're not happy with the search results you should have the option to click on your profile links. ie; Feed. Blog, Wallet etc.

I propose Steemit Inc make the standard profile header available in the Search Results screen to improve the User Experience. See Example below.

Mockups / Examples

This is what a logged in user would expect the search results screen to look like.

The inclusions have been highlighted.

Benefits

A good UX will always allow the user to navigate to their intended destination page with just one click. Having to press the back button to navigate a website is a design flaw.

And by adding the users profile information along with the 'Trending', 'New', 'Hot'and 'Promoted' tabs to the search results screen it'll enable the user to move seamlessly throughout the website.

Change Complexity: Low

Thank-you for your feedback. However, I don't consider basic UX improvements to be trivial. Pressing the back button to navigate around a website should never be a 'thing'

This was cleary the wrong place to raise it for an open source project, sorry.
