Search + advanced search
- Summary
- The search box text entry field allows users to search for content across the application using keywords. The entry field includes a type-ahead feature (for worksets and cost objects in the RAFT application). Users can select from the drop-down of suggested results and navigate to that page, or users can click Enter to submit their search query. The Enter key takes them to a separate search results page with a complete list of results.
- The search field uses the magnifying glass icon as an indicator of its function.
- The Advanced Search hyperlink appears in Source Sans, white, 13 pt, underlined.

- Problem
- Users need a way to search the application for their specific content as a shortcut to browsing.
- Solution
- We provided this search bar as an alternative to browsing.
- Rationale
- The search bar appeared in several other places in the header during our design phase. Adjacent to the logo was the most obvious location for end users.
