The main use of my site is video browsing. There is a search bar in the nav to search for videos. My site also has a photo section. I need to add search functionality on the photo section. I'm torn between:
- Having 2 search bars. The one in the nav for videos and one towards the top when browsing the photo sections.
- When browsing the photo section, the nav search bar only searches photos. (Don't think this is a good idea..)
- A multiple select search.. So a dropdown next to the search bar that lets users toggle between video and photo search. When browsing photos the default selected is photos.
Answer
I vote for option #4.
A search from the main page should show mostly videos and a few pictures to hint to the user that there may be more content types on the site than they realize.
If they're searching from a picture page, show mostly pictures but a few related videos as well.
