I am working on a form design that currently has two mutually exclusive forms accessible via tabs (Option 1). During usability testing my team noticed thatobserved users missedmissing the tabs and only noticednoticing them when we asked a follow-up question. As a result, we want to combine the two forms and let the user choose if they would like to perform a reservation search or a promotional search.
We developed two options: checkbox next to the submit button (Option 2) or two submit buttons (Option 3). Which option would make the most sense? I think that giving the user two submit buttons/actions will introduce confusion.
Thanks for the help!
