Staying in the same place in the list is a must-have. As you've pointed out Rory, the results could be sorted in many ways... So shooting user to the top might completely change their sort order & disorient them. Many apps (Medium, YouTube, AutoTrader) default you to a homepage/search page 1hr after your session, but remember your search. Either defaulting back to search/homepage, or pushing users on to a list of only 'NEW' stuff are the options I'm exploring. | |
| Dec 4, 2017 at 22:40 | comment | added | Rory O'Kane | It's a good idea to stay at the same place in the list and show an indicator that results have changed. But the UI for this should be different from Facebook and news sites. Facebook tells you to scroll to the top to see the latest posts, because posts are always sorted by date and new ones are always put at the top. In the case of a rental property list sorted by price, new results could go anywhere, so the wording of the indicator should be different. Also, the trigger to refresh the results might be something other than scrolling to the top. | |
