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
