## Items

### Sticky search bar
The search input fixed at the top of the screen as results scroll beneath it

_Tip: A search bar that scrolls away with results forces users to scroll back up if they need to refine their query_

### Keyboard auto-focus
The keyboard opens immediately when the user navigates to the search screen — no extra tap required to start typing

### Live results
Results updating as the user types rather than requiring a submit tap

### Recent searches
Previously searched terms shown before the user starts typing for convenience to revisit results

### Filter bottom sheet
Filtering accessed via a bottom sheet rather than a separate screen, to keep the search context visible while adjusting

_Tip: A full-screen filter page can be better if the filtering is extensive e.g. a retail store or booking system_

### Skeleton loading
Skeleton cards in the expected result shape shown while results load as user types

### No results state
A helpful empty state with suggestions e.g. suggestion to check spelling, remove filters or try related terms

### Clear query button
An action inside or near the search field to clear the current query with one tap
