Search & discovery

Why this pattern works

Search start pages that need a strong primary input and optional exploration.

Design notes

Surface: Bing public search homepage.
Navigation: Small service links at the top with account utilities on the opposite side.
Layout: Prominent search input over a photographic canvas, with supplemental discovery content below.
Density: Low around the search input; more compact near discovery links.
Color: Photography supplies the palette, supported by white controls and dark overlays.
Type: Clean sans utility labels.
Pattern: Protect an uncluttered input zone while letting secondary content occupy the edges.
States: Unsigned homepage; search results and suggestions are not shown.
Don't: Do not let a detailed background reduce input contrast or distract from typing.

## Acceptance criteria
- Existing project conventions, design tokens, working functionality, and unrelated changes are preserved.
- Two or three reference principles clearly support the user's task; conflicts are resolved in favor of usability and the existing product.
- Reusable components and semantic HTML express the interface. Available licensed assets are used; important UI text is never rendered as a bitmap.
- Every visible control has a defined behavior. Loading, empty, error, success, disabled, and long-content states are specified where relevant. Demo data is clearly labeled.
- Navigation and content adapt at 375px, 768px, and 1440px without horizontal page overflow. Keyboard use, visible focus, labeled inputs, at least 44px touch targets, readable contrast, and reduced motion are supported.
- Verification distinguishes rendered behavior from proposals and identifies anything still requiring a backend or external service.

## Quality bar
Clear hierarchy, consistent spacing, restrained surfaces, and purposeful motion. Avoid decorative gradients, excessive cards, placeholder buttons, and invented metrics unless the project calls for them. Do not claim a feature is connected or tested without evidence.
