I wish I had the leisure to browse around this site and just look for interesting notes - the possibilities are endless! Unfortunately, when I visit I am typically trying to overcome a hurdle of some sort, and it is usually under a deadline. So a search feature would be very helpful. I click on the magnifying glass icon near my profile pic, and the icon simply moves (ha ha, funny!), but it does not give me any option to search. Is there any plan to add such a useful feature to elearning heroes?
Thanks for the rapid response Leslie. Search as you describe it works in Firefox now that I tried an alternate. I was using the IE 9 browser, and clicking the icon just makes it move, but does not give you a box in which to type. Got it now - use Firefox to browse Heroes!
We checked in with our web team, and confirmed the search works in all browsers - but may behave differently in some. For example, within IE8 the search bar will always be "toggled open" and you'll see the "Search text" next to the magnifying glass in the middle of the header.
In IE9, it toggles open, but it handles placeholder text (i.e. search) differently, so once there is a focus on that text box, you won't see the word search but you should be able to begin typing and utilize the search as normal.

Hi Dan!
When you click on the magnifying glass, it moves to the left and places your cursor in the search box.
There is search on the site and it has been improved since our last version of Heroes :)

Thanks for sharing Dan and glad you can utilize an avenue to make this work for you. I will report your findings to the team :)
TOTALLY AGREE! I'm in the exact same situation right now.
I'll try from Firefox

Hi Dan and Sue!
I have an update.
The search has been tested in all browsers, but may work differently because of this.
For example:
You should still be able to start typing in the search though.
Leslie, thank you for testing this out!!!
