Search UX

Actions

  • A free text search should include results from all content types (Posts, Channels, Groups, Blogs)
  • Clearly presented filter options on the left-side will allow the user to scope this results by type.
  • Display results across two levels High-level: Search results spanning all content types Low-larch: Search results per type. Videos, Channels, Groups, Blogs etc.
  • Given the varying forms content in minds can take, being able to search and scan search results more effectively is of much importance.
  • The search input should allow the user to scope the search as they wish. E.g. “Flat Earth Theory” in “Groups”.
  • Determine if there is any value in scoping searches by Top, Hot and Latest.
  • We would suggest excluding these options entirely to help simplify the experience.
