Description

Description

Implement a comprehensive product search feature that allows users to find products quickly and efficiently by name and category.

Acceptance Criteria

Search by Name

  • Users can enter text in a search input field to search for products by name
  • Search should be case-insensitive
  • Search should support partial matches (e.g., searching 'Smart' finds 'SmartFeeder One')
  • Search results should update in real-time as the user types (with appropriate debouncing)
  • Display a 'No results found' message when search yields no matches

Search by Category

  • Users can filter products by category/type (e.g., Feeders, Entertainment, Health Monitoring, Accessories)
  • Category filter should be easily accessible (dropdown, chips, or sidebar)
  • Multiple categories can be selected simultaneously (optional enhancement)
  • Category filter should work in combination with text search

User Experience

  • Search input should have a clear/reset button to quickly clear the search
  • Search icon should be visible next to the input field
  • Loading state should be shown while search results are being fetched (if async)
  • Previous search query should persist when navigating back to the products page
  • Display count of search results (e.g., 'Found 5 products')

Performance

  • Search should be performant with large product catalogs
  • Implement debouncing (250-300ms) to avoid excessive API calls
  • Consider client-side filtering for initial implementation if dataset is small

Technical Implementation

  • Add search parameter to URL query string for shareable search links
  • API endpoint should support search and filter parameters
  • Implement proper error handling for failed search requests
  • Add appropriate ARIA labels for accessibility
