Interaction Design: On two small problems search suggestions

designed recently do a search and found two small problems easily tangled, here to talk about some of their own analysis.

problem: which keywords submitted?

where passengers this example, the search suggestions "fashion oblique zipper" highlighted, this time click on "Search "The key is the input box to submit the" s "or" oblique fashion zipper "? The answer is" oblique fashion zipper. "

look at Baidu, when the search of the proposed" sina microblogging "highlight (mouseover), the Click "Baidu", submitted keyword is input box "s", rather than highlighting the "sina microblogging."

in the end which way is better? I think so:

the search group devices, this should be the main search box and search button to search for proposal is an additional tool, or even none.

so regardless of the state of search suggestions," Search "button (or press" Enter "key) should be submitted the contents of the search box, so that it is not prone to ambiguity.

back to where the customer example, if the selected search suggestion (by clicking the arrow keys, mouse hover, mouse clicks, etc.), click on "Search" or press "Enter" key proposal is submitted to the search, the search box content should be replaced immediately; otherwise does not change the input box.

Second problem: whether to highlight the first search suggestions?

seen a lot of related products, such as google, Taobao, Baidu, all passengers, their search did not highlight the first search suggestions.

but there are a few products, search, search is selected by default the first proposal. What problem does this?

and a similar problem, here are prone to disagreement: the submitted keyword is input box, or highlight the contents of the first search suggestions it?

If the proposal submitted by the search, said that according to the previous method, the input box to the proposal to replace the first search does not work , after all, this is not a user selected, then this ambiguity is difficult to solve; In addition, if the user then manually select the additional search suggestions, content not suitable for the search box and then be replaced with the appropriate search suggestions, because This would be inconsistent and the initial state (initial state in the search box is selected by default search the content and recommendations is likely to be inconsistent).

search suggestions if not submitted, then highlight it here, what is the extent of the significance of it?

Summary:

if submitted after the search operation is triggered The search suggestions are highlighted, the search box content should be replaced with the corresponding content

in search suggestions do not highlight the first in the content
