If an app supports search, the experience should be consistent with Canva's native search experience. This page contains some guidelines to ensure this consistency.
Best practices
- Let users know what they can search for.
- Use placeholder text to educate your users on what they can search for.
- Offers suggestions on how to maximize their search experience
- Provide filters for searches or categorization for search results if it would narrow and improve a user's search results.
- Show the query inside the search field. Use a close button to close or reset search.
- Show the results directly below the search field
- Use an inline or grid layout to show results for visual media like images, video.
- Let the user know if no search results have been found.
