Search field
Make search visible before a visitor needs it.
A search field must be recognizable, quickly focus and make it clear which products, brands or characteristics can be searched.
Visibility
Do not hide search behind unclear icons when searching is an important navigation route.
Placeholder
Use examples that help without suggesting that only one type of query is possible.
Focus and keyboard
Allow keyboard users to start immediately and mobile input not to be hindered by layout shift.
Erase and restore
Make it easy to delete input or modify a previous query.
Measure use
Track how many visitors open, type, break down and send a query to the search field.
