QuickSearch Design Improvements

The quick search provides a lot of categories and 3 results per category. Thus we had not many successful searches. Most of the results were doubled in all the categories. So we decided to change the quick search radically. We only provide one category with an advanced search pattern showing 15 results and another category only showing 3 results focussed on user names.

With these changes I nearly find every page I’m searching for.

Top results (15):
