Search Select Prompt User Interface is very poor.

The Search and Select prompt user interface is very poor and could do with a redesign to make it better.

Some of the basic flaws are:

  1. On the search side, the Select all is a check box ui at the top of the list.
    One the selected side, the Select all is a text item at the bottom of the list.

  2. One side of the prompt has select all deselect all, the other uses a single select all check box to do the same.

  3. The Select all font by the check box is different to other fonts on the prompt.

  4. The search side of the prompt uses a check box UI to multiselect.
    The selected side of the prompt uses a Blue Highlight to show mlutiselect items.

  5. The Keywords search options are not alongside the keywords entry box - not making it obvious what these entries apply to.

  6. Messy horizontal alignment of items in the interface, for example the Select all checkbox, the text in the search side of the prompt, the drop down menu for options.
