Design 3

This design focuses on live search, allowing the user to quickly see search results and get instant feedback on if his search is too specific (no results) or still too broad (page upon page of results.) The user can still filter by a selection of classes and/or skills in order to find matching students.

...

He begins typing his first class, and an auto complete box gives him a list of potential classes that he may want.
After he selects a requirement (whether by clicking or hitting enter), the tag (in this case, for the class 6.867) appears in the Course requirements section. To find out more about a candidate, he clicks on him. A pop up window pops up in the screen, detailing the candidate's information. Here, Prof. Smith takes note of exactly what requirements the candidate matches, as well as the candidate's resume, recommendations from other professors (if any), and interests.
He exits the pop up and returns back to the search results screen.
