:::If we refer readers to [[Special:Search]], they might believe that this is a required entry point (instead of realizing that there's a search box on every page). —[[User:David Levy|David Levy]] 02:24, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

::::True. I haven't realy liked the idea of highlighting the left search box, but using the orange already in the skin and only for the Main page seems the best way to do it. On the other hand, newbies may think there's something special about that search box over the others.--[[User:HereToHelp|HereToHelp]] ([[User talk:HereToHelp|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/HereToHelp|contribs]]) 02:40, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

:::::If it is technically possible to have the left search box highlighted on JUST the main page (which noone has confirmed), then it would be possible to also highlight it (the left search box) on the "Searching" page. I see no benefit in adding a second search box on the "Searching" page, for the same reason David pointed out for Special:Search, and as detailed against the second search box during the the main page draft.

:::::The German page does look informative and concisely laid-out, good plan, but i am against that second search box (which was just added on feb 27). --[[User:Quiddity|Quiddity]] 05:35, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
