Common questions about search templates

What should a mobile search screen include?

A search field that stays visible, recent searches below it, and results that replace the recents as the person types. The fewer taps between opening search and finding the result, the better the screen is working.

Should search results show filters?

Only when the result set is large enough to need them. Filters on a short list add visual noise without helping anyone find anything faster.

How do I add real search to a mobile app?

Paste the design into Replit, Lovable, Claude Code, Bolt or Cursor and name your search provider, whether that is Algolia, Typesense, or a database query. The layout handles the results while the provider handles the ranking.

What makes search feel fast on mobile?

Showing results as the person types, not after they tap a button. Instant feedback makes a half-second query feel immediate, and a submit button makes a fast query feel slow.
