From the minutes... << Add to guidelines: new options for a browser's search command - 1) search only links 2) search alt text >> Here is my proposal: 6.8 Searching Functionality 6.8.1 Priority 1 Allow the current page to be searched for a given phrase. If the selected text is found, the selection should be moved to the occurrence. If the text occurs within an anchor, the focus should be changed to the anchor. [Should the selection also be moved?] The user interface of this functionality, including selection presentation and keyboard shortcuts should be consistent with the platform the UA is operating on. 6.8.2 Priority 2 Optionally allow searching of the text within an anchor. If desired, the search would ignore the given phrase if it appeared outside of a anchor. 6.8.3 Priority 3 Optionally allow searching of descriptive text of elements. This would expand the scope of the search to include text that may not be visible on-screen. Would include the inner-text of <OBJECT> elements, ALT and TITLE attribute text. [Others?] We'll need examples for the actual HTML document. Please comment.
