 ## Test Coverage
 
-### Unit Tests
-- `test_autocomplete_results`: Validates search result filtering
+### Search Functionality Tests
+- `test_autocomplete_results`: Validates real-time suggestion filtering
 - `test_search_form_valid`: Ensures form validation works
-- `test_autocomplete_class`: Checks autocomplete configuration
-- `test_search_with_filters`: Verifies filter integration
+- `test_autocomplete_class`: Verifies autocomplete configuration
+- `test_search_with_filters`: Tests filter integration
 
 ### Integration Tests
 - `test_empty_search`: Tests default behavior
 - `test_partial_match_search`: Validates partial text matching
 - `test_htmx_request_handling`: Ensures HTMX compatibility
-- `test_view_mode_persistence`: Checks view state management
-- `test_unauthenticated_access`: Verifies authentication requirements
+- `test_view_mode_persistence`: Verifies view state preservation
 
-### Security Tests
-Parks search implements a tiered access approach:
-- Basic search is public
-- Autocomplete requires authentication
-- Configuration set in settings.py: `AUTOCOMPLETE_BLOCK_UNAUTHENTICATED = True`
+### Performance Tests
+- `test_suggestion_limit`: Verifies 8-item limit on suggestions
+- `test_search_debounce`: Confirms proper debounce headers
+
+### Frontend Integration
+- HTMX partial updates
+- Alpine.js state management
+- Loading indicators
+- View mode persistence
+- Keyboard navigation
