Filed with Developers "WHM >> List Accounts" unified search field [Case 56293]

[JawadArshad]

Issue: bottom search field in "List Accounts" menu is not so easily accessible or user friendly.

1- You have to scroll down to reach it every time.

2- You have to use a mouse/pad twice at least, to click on the correct radio button first and then type in the required field. You can't search quickly using the keyboard.

3- If you select a wrong radio button and type, clicking any other radio button erases everything you typed.

Suggestion: cPanel should merge the two search fields and use a drop down instead of radio buttons. A single search field can be followed by a drop down list so accessible by a simple 'tab' keystroke.
'Domain' can be set as default in the drop down followed by all other options in the bottom search like 'user', 'package', etc.

Advantages:
1- Quicker using a keyboard: One can type in the search field, push a simple 'tab', select the item from drop down by typing the first alphabet and then search it using tab+enter..

2- Redundancy removed: Domain search is available in both top and bottom search fields, not to mention the two search fields instead of one.

3- No Overhead compared to current quick domain search: One can just paste a domain and quickly press 'Enter' to search against domain if its the default drop down option.

P.S: Thank you cPanel for adding trim function to the bottom search field. I opened a bug report to get it added in the top search field ages ago but its not until 11.28 that the bottom search field has it. Earlier, a space in the searched item resulted in cPanel showing a no match.

Good suggestion.
I would love this or would even be happy with a single search box that just searches for any matches no matter if in the domain, user or reseller fields.

[JawadArshad]

I also thought of that but it may be a little too crude and would take a longer time on average to search in all fields where one should be required. In some scenarios, this might not work too like a username that is part of another account's domain name etc.

It's a good usability idea to reduce clicks. +1 for this one

[JawadArshad]

Yeah, working on so many tasks simultaneously, we could always use some helping hand like reduced clicks and easy to access search field.
