"Search" button into main top menu?

[reimand0]

Hey - is it worth adding a link Search to the main menu on the front page as well as the following pages? I think it is not easy to find the detailed search page, and the currently first link Download is not very frequently used by most users I guess.

I think that Kim also raised this issue in e-mails (proposing adding "Mutations" and "Proteins" links to the top menu).

What about adding "Mutations" and "Proteins" which would lead to advanced mutation search and advanced protein search and collapsing "Download" and "Contact us" into a "More" dropdown button?

In 629bc900e313c377e479ec54be7c830c4ab3b99d I added an ability to nest menu entries.

Please see the current layout, experimentally changed on activedriverdb.org. It has following entries:

Tutorial | Search ↓ | Publications | API | More ↓ | Login/My datasets

where "Search" contains: "Mutations" and "Proteins", while "More" has "Download" and "Contact Us".

PS. Another idea would be to have it like this:

Tutorial | Publications | Advanced ↓ | Contact Us | Login/My datasets

and "Advanced" would encompass: "Mutations", "Proteins", "Download" and "API".

This looks more compact indeed. Some small changes perhaps:

"download & API" can be one menu item and one page, these fit well together. "contact us" should be visible at all times, let's lift it out of the dropdown.

After lifting "Contact us" and moving "API" to "More" (so it is together with "Download", though not merged into a single entry yet) the menu does not fit in well on some of the tablet-sized screens:

ok, nice catch. we can replace "contact us " with "contact". "More" is also quite ambiguous, maybe use "Get"? would that sound better?

I replaced "contact us" with "contact". As we decided to use "More" to link to a new page ("Acknowledgements") I will close it for now.

Please reopen or add a comment if any other menu changes are required.

PS. You can edit the menu when logged in using this page.
