We keep going back to several problems with the search form and category links. We hope there is a way to fix these once and for all, otherwise our users’ experience is degraded.
– After viewing the detail page of a listing, clicking on the category lists (on the sidebar or on the menu) will show results filtered by the location of the listing last viewed. We need it so that clicking on a category should show unfiltered results from all locations. We were able to fix this in the primary menu by manually building the category links but it is a pain having to update the list when new categories are added. There seems to be no way to fix the category list on the detail page sidebar.
– In the search form, the location of the last viewed listing or the location last entered in the search persists when viewing the results pages and there seems to be no way to clear it except to go back to the search in the homepage. We need a way to clear it so that users can select a new category and a blank location even from results pages.
– There should be a way to break down United Kingdom into England, Wales, Scotland because it is confusing having to lump all regions together. We also need to give users the ability to filter by England only, or Wales only, etc.
– There should be a way to break down a large city like London into South, North, etc… but still give users the ability to search entire London.
