Description Brion Vibber 2012-09-10 20:25:06 UTC 
The windows 8 tablet app uses the system search charm to implement article search. This is nice, but is difficult for new users to discover who aren't familiar with win8.

We could add a search icon in the upper-right which opens the search bar; I've seen this in some other apps such as the Larousse app.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2013-09-12 17:30:05 UTC 
Upcoming Windows 8.1 version switches from the search charm (which Microsoft no longer recommends for in-app search) to a SearchBox control in the upper-right. Much easier to discover and use.
