Prompt pattern
Help visitors find content quickly
A prominent input accepts natural words and explains empty or unsuccessful searches.
Fills the component part of a prompt.
Place a wide search input at the top of the content area with an example query in its placeholder. Start showing suggestions after 2 characters, submit on Enter, and display the result count above the matches. When nothing matches, keep the query visible and offer two broader searches instead of an empty page.
Use this component pattern when it changes the result the agent should produce. It provides one concrete direction without deciding unrelated parts of the website.
