# Search Results — Web app

Displaying and navigating results matching a user's query from within the product.

Source: https://www.checklist.design/web-app/search-results

## Items

### Search input
A search field at the top of the results, pre-filled with the current query so it can be refined without starting over

### Result count
How many results were found for the query

_Tip: Show it even at zero as it tells the user the search ran, not that something broke_

### Result items
Each result shown with enough to identify it — title, type, image, and a snippet of the matching content

_Tip: Highlighting the matched term in the snippet confirms_

### Result type indicators
A label or icon marking what kind of item each result is (document, person, project, message)

### Filters
The ability to narrow results by category, date, status, or other relevant values

### No results state
The state shown when a query returns no matches, ideally with suggestions for what to try instead

_Tip: Offer alternatives instead of a blank space, whether it's a suggested query or spelling change_

### Recent searches
A list of the user's previous queries, shown when the search field is focused but empty
