Phase 5: Search - Context

Gathered: 2026-01-31 Status: Ready for planning

## Phase Boundary

Users can find entries through text search and filtering. Includes search by text in title/content, filter by tag, filter by date range, and filter by entry type (task/thought). Search results show matching text highlighted.

## Implementation Decisions

Search UI Location

Search bar always visible at top, above entry list
Inline filters visible alongside search (tags, type, date range)
Clear/reset button appears only when filters are active
Mobile layout: Claude's discretion

Filter Behavior

Multiple tag filters combine with AND (entry must have ALL selected tags)
Filters are session-only (not persisted in URL, reset on reload)
Date range: Quick presets (Today, This week, This month) plus custom range option
Type filter: Three-state toggle (Tasks / Thoughts / All), default is All

Results Display

Filter in place — same list view, just fewer entries shown (seamless)
Matching text highlighted with bold (not background highlight)
Empty state: Friendly message "No entries match your search"
When searching/filtering: Flat list, pinned entries do NOT stay at top

Type-ahead Experience

Instant search as you type (debounced)
Minimum 2 characters before search triggers
Recent searches: Show last 5 searches as quick picks
Keyboard shortcut: / key focuses search (like GitHub)

Claude's Discretion

Mobile filter layout (horizontal scroll vs collapsed)
Debounce timing
Exact empty state wording
Recent searches storage mechanism

## Specific Ideas

"/" key to focus search (GitHub-style)
Presets for date range similar to analytics dashboards: Today, This week, This month

## Deferred Ideas

None — discussion stayed within phase scope

Phase: 05-search Context gathered: 2026-01-31
