This spike is to investigate the feasibility, engineering requirements, engineering efforts and development time required to create a search bar on the help board.
A search bar will be available on top of the Help Board section.
The user can type in keywords and hit enter. The user will have see 3 new TABS below the search bar: a. "Posts", b. "Individuals" and c. "Organizations" with search results under each:
a. List of Posts containing the keyword in their description, title or tag
b. List of Individual names and description "About" section containing the keyword
c. List of Organization names and description containing the keyword
The matching keywords in the results will be highlighted.
If user searched for a post : User can use filters (all filters) on top to further sort out the results and if signed in, can interact with the posts otherwise will be redirected to sign up in order to interact with the posts.
If user searched for an organization: User can use Location filter on top to further sort out the results based on preferred location and if signed in can interact with the Organization cards otherwise will be redirected to sign up in order to interact with the cards.
If user searched for an individual: User can use Location filter on top to further sort out the results based on preferred location and if signed in can interact with the Individual cards otherwise will be redirected to sign up in order to interact with the cards.
Future addition/improvement:
User should be able to type in keywords in the search bar and be able to see relevant posts/organizations/individuals in a drop down from where he/she can select the post/organization/individual they like.
