Editorial draft available to read. Factual and language review is pending. Examples are illustrative.
Decision and scope
Start with real retrieval questions: finding a reference, identifying overdue work or reviewing personal assignments. Define searchable fields, compatible filters and a stable result order. Results, suggestions and counts should all obey the same permission scope so that search does not reveal otherwise restricted records.
Illustrative example
Illustrative example: support searches for part of an order reference and filters pending work assigned to its team. The interface preserves the selected filters, explains their effect and provides a clear reset. An empty result distinguishes no matching records from a search that has not yet run or has failed.
Acceptance check
Test accents, whitespace, similar identifiers and movement between result pages. Ensure exports retain the active filters. Accept search when representative users can locate their own examples without understanding the internal database structure or memorizing undocumented naming conventions.
Key takeaways
- Accept search when representative users can locate their own examples without understanding the internal database structure or memorizing undocumented naming conventions.
