# Old

Residents will be able to enter words in the search bar and receive a list of relevant content.

## User flow
Mocked this up as part of the permitting process transition. Sketch file shows specific use case moving from Residential Permitting topic page to Residential Permitting Resource: Applications & Forms within search template/function.

There are opportunities for refined interaction design. Looking to @mateoclarke @ifsimicoded and @toribr to elaborate there :)

## Popular Search
Other government websites, like Gov.uk and Mass.gov, surface popular services on their homepage. We considered making this a part of our experience. Assuming people use service and topic pages primarily, should popular pages show up there instead of homepage?

### Examples

### Resident Value
Could potentially help residents understand service relationships via topics, or at the least- help them discover city services they did not know existed and that are regularly used/visited.
