I'm on the Home Page, and I wanna Search DU for something.

7. There are two extremely obvious ways to get around DU4

The NAVIGATE button and the MY STUFF button. If you click the NAVIGATE button the menu pops open and the link to HELP & SEARCH is right there.

It's two clicks to get to the Search page (Click Navigate, click Help & Search) compared to the Google site search bar that exists on DU3 (no clicks) or the Advanced Search function on DU3 (one click).

However, that is offset by the fact that on DU4 the Navigate button is on screen at all times. On DU3, if you're not at the top of the page already, you have to scroll all the way back to the top of the page to get to the search bar or the link to Advanced Search.

I should also point out that on the mobile version of DU3 there is no search function at all. That has been improved upon in the DU4 mobile version, which allows you to search from the Help & Search page. I made some concessions in the DU4 desktop design in order to improve things for mobile users.
