A search involves the following: activating the search field, typing a search query, and displaying the search results. 

A search is shown as a persistent search or expandable search. It is usually accessed from the top-level user navigation and is used to find information that is buried deep within an app’s information architecture. 

Activation

When the user taps on the search icon, the text field activates, displaying the blinking cursor along with the keyboard and a search suggestion that shows under the search bar.

Input

As the user types, search suggestions are further refined to reflect the user’s keyboard inputs.

Results

When the user enters a query or selects one of the search suggestions, they are taken to the search results.

Display a list of search suggestions when the search bar is activated.

Past Searches

Before the user begins typing, a list of past searches displays on search suggestions.

Input

As the user begins typing, the search suggestion dialog displays a list of possible suggested results based on what the user’s inputs.

Navigation

Tapping on one of the suggestions navigates to that item detail. If the user taps on the back arrow, they are taken back to the default view.
