The first thing I ever do when enter to PVD is switching to People view, and then enter anything like "Tewr@$^%" in Search bar. This helps me later to faster switch between views.
How to reproduce the problem:
1. Start PVD in People view, or switch to it.
2. When in People view, type in Search bar John Hurt, for instance. You'll get zero to some results.
3. Do nothing, just switch back to Movie view.
4. Choose any movie.
5. Click on a director's name link, for instance. What is expected is to be automatically switched to directors record in People view.
But, the Search bar isn't automatically purged upon clicking on a director's link in Movie view, so switching won't work. The result will be:
6. In the search bar still there will be John Hurt typed, and you'll still have John Hurt results in left pane.
Nostra, if you consider to manage this issue, please keep on mind that when some name is once entered in Search bar, switching between views using "Switch to Movies/Person" button is much faster and easier, and purging the Search by switching this way isn't desirable at all.
If it's possible to manage to purge Search bar in People view only upon clicking on a name link in Movie view, AND/OR to fill Search bar with that name, that would be perfect.
If it's impossible to manage to purge Search bar in People view upon clicking on a name link in Movie view, AND/OR to fill Search bar with that name, I wouldn't change anything.
Thank you.
