Discussion on: How To: Build A Simple Search Bar in JavaScript

I appreciate the feedback, but there are ways of providing "criticism" as you claim without condescension. Yes -- there are many ways to achieve a goal with code -- we all know that. This is a beginner's ~guide~... guide meaning do things the way you would like and follow my outline to your desired effect. It's nice to see that we all can think and improve on others; but try to say it nicer. Also "shorter" does not equate to better. Sometimes "longer" improves readability, especially for beginners. Nonetheless, I appreciate you taking the time to read and comment on my post. I like continuing the conversation past the post :)

I'd say that

function clearList() {
  list.innerHTML = ''
}

Is easier to read than

function clearList() {
    while (list.firstChild){
        list.removeChild(list.firstChild)
    }
}

I agree. Good article, great project for people still starting out.

Boris made some great points on how to improve the code, did not see anything 'condescending' in there, all positive criticism and helpful quality tips, seems you cant take any... attitude problem?
