No confirmation for re-running a successful query #7

Closed jschaf closed 9 years ago

jschaf commented 9 years ago

First off, amazingly helpful site.

Here's a small pain point I'm experiencing:

After I get the correct answer, I often like to experiment with the query to find other alternate techniques. If I run another successful query there's no indication that anything happened.

My suggestion:

Clear the output before another query is run.

AlisdairO commented 9 years ago

Hey - glad you're finding it useful! I'm not quite sure I understand what you're looking for - the queries generally run fairly quickly so if I clear just before the query is run, there might be no more than a flicker on the screen to indicate that the results have changed. Is that enough for your needs, or am I misunderstanding?

The problem is that there's no flicker if you have another successful query. There's no indication that anything happened. Here's a quick example. There's no positive feedback that my query with the facs alias was successful. I know that it probably worked because it didn't error out, but it'd be nice to know that it was successful.

No Flicker Image

Fair enough - that shouldn't be very hard to implement! I'm away for the next week or so but I'll add it to the list.

Apologies for the interminable delay in fixing this - real life has been rather busy of late! Hopefully you should find this issue is fixed now - and thanks for your help.

No worries, thanks for the fix.
