Description
I don't see a search box on the site, and I didn't find search mentioned in the issues. Is that correct? Is one in the works?
Users expect a search box on every site, but especially on a site that exists to be informative.
I imagine there are technical challenges because of the split content. We somehow need to solve them.
Imagine the response if we go live without a search box. "They put up this fancy new site and forgot / took away the search box."
