A design guide for search fields, search result pages, autocomplete, typeahead, and command palettes. It covers input behavior, keyboard navigation, result display, waiting states, and accessible comboboxes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or reviewing site search, project or file search, autocomplete suggestions, typeahead fields, or command menus.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

canon-search scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 255 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Search is where users land when the nav fails them. Make it fast, forgiving, and keyboard-first.

The search input itself

<form role="search">
  <label for="q" class="sr-only">Search</label>
  <svg aria-hidden="true" class="search-icon">...</svg>
  <input
    id="q"
    type="search"
    name="q"
    placeholder="Search projects, files, people…"
    autocomplete="off"
    spellcheck="false"
    autocapitalize="off"
    autocorrect="off"
  />
  <button type="button" aria-label="Clear search" class="clear-btn" hidden>✕</button>
</form>
  • <form role="search"> wraps the input — gives screen reader context.
  • <label> is always present (can be visually hidden).
  • type="search" — mobile keyboard shows a "search" button, browsers add a clear-X.
  • Turn off autocomplete, spellcheck, autocapitalize, autocorrect for identifier-like searches; leave on for natural-language search.
  • Custom clear button for consistent look (native X is inconsistent across browsers).

Input visual spec

Property Value
Height 36–48px (40px default)
Horizontal padding 36–40px left (room for icon), 32–40px right (room for clear)
Font size 14–16px (16px on mobile — iOS zooms inputs < 16px)
Icon size 16–18px, currentColor, muted
Border radius 6–8px for fields, fully rounded (999px) for pill style
Focus ring 2–3px offset 2px, 3:1 contrast minimum

Placeholder — show examples, not instructions

Bad Good
Search Search projects, files, people
Enter keywords Try "Q4 roadmap"
Type to search Find teammates, tickets, docs

Placeholder is a preview of what you can do. It disappears on focus, so it can't be the label.

Debouncing

Action Delay
Keystroke → fetch suggestions 150–250ms debounce
Keystroke → render suggestions (client-side) 0ms
Keystroke → run full search (submit) Only on Enter or search button

150–250ms is the sweet spot: fast enough to feel responsive, slow enough to avoid firing a request per keypress.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
