Search Patterns

A sandbox for collecting search examples, patterns, and anti-patterns.

Please add tags, notes, and comments, and suggest new examples.

Over time, I hope to add patterns that illustrate user behavior and the information architecture of search.

I'll be blogging about patterns at findability.org/ and there's a slidecast.

If you have comments or suggestions, please let me know.
