+# Base Autocomplete Implementation
+
+The project uses `django-htmx-autocomplete` with a custom base implementation to ensure consistent behavior across all autocomplete widgets.
+
+## BaseAutocomplete Class
+
+Located in `core/forms.py`, the `BaseAutocomplete` class provides project-wide defaults and standardization:
+
+```python
+from core.forms import BaseAutocomplete
+
+class MyModelAutocomplete(BaseAutocomplete):
+    model = MyModel
+    search_attrs = ['name', 'description']
+```
+
+### Features
+
+- **Authentication Enforcement**: Requires user authentication by default
+  - Controlled via `AUTOCOMPLETE_BLOCK_UNAUTHENTICATED` setting
+  - Override `auth_check()` for custom auth logic
+
+- **Search Configuration**
+  - `minimum_search_length = 2` - More responsive than default 3
+  - `max_results = 10` - Optimized for performance
+
+- **Internationalization**
+  - All text strings use Django's translation system
+  - Customizable messages through class attributes
+
+### Usage Guidelines
+
+1. Always extend `BaseAutocomplete` instead of using `autocomplete.Autocomplete` directly
+2. Configure search_attrs based on your model's indexed fields
+3. Use the AutocompleteWidget with proper options:
+
+```python
+class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):
+    class Meta:
+        model = MyModel
+        fields = ['related_field']
+        widgets = {
+            'related_field': AutocompleteWidget(
+                ac_class=MyModelAutocomplete,
+                options={
+                    "multiselect": True,  # For M2M fields
+                    "placeholder": "Custom placeholder..."  # Optional
+                }
+            )
+        }
+```
+
+### Performance Considerations
+
+- Keep `search_attrs` minimal and indexed
+- Use `select_related`/`prefetch_related` in custom querysets
+- Consider caching for frequently used results
+
+### Security Notes
+
+- Authentication required by default
+- Implements proper CSRF protection via HTMX
+- Rate limiting should be implemented at the web server level

+# Park Search Implementation
+
+## Architecture
+
+The park search functionality uses a combination of:
+- BaseAutocomplete for search suggestions
+- django-htmx for async updates
+- Django filters for advanced filtering
+
+### Components
+
+1. **Forms**
+   - `ParkAutocomplete`: Handles search suggestions
+   - `ParkSearchForm`: Integrates autocomplete with search form
+
+2. **Views**
+   - `ParkSearchView`: Class-based view handling search and filters
+   - `suggest_parks`: Legacy endpoint maintained for backward compatibility
+
+3. **Templates**
+   - Simplified search UI using autocomplete widget
+   - Integrated loading indicators
+   - Filter form for additional search criteria
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Search Form
+```python
+class ParkSearchForm(forms.Form):
+    park = forms.ModelChoiceField(
+        queryset=Park.objects.all(),
+        required=False,
+        widget=AutocompleteWidget(
+            ac_class=ParkAutocomplete,
+            attrs={
+                'class': 'w-full border-gray-300 rounded-lg form-input dark:border-gray-600 dark:bg-gray-700 dark:text-white',
+                'placeholder': 'Search parks...'
+            }
+        )
+    )
+```
+
+### Autocomplete
+```python
+class ParkAutocomplete(BaseAutocomplete):
+    model = Park
+    search_attrs = ['name']
+    
+    def get_search_results(self, search):
+        return (get_base_park_queryset()
+                .filter(name__icontains=search)
+                .select_related('owner')
+                .order_by('name'))
+```
+
+### View Integration
+```python
+class ParkSearchView(TemplateView):
+    template_name = "parks/park_list.html"
+    
+    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
+        context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
+        context['search_form'] = ParkSearchForm(self.request.GET)
+        # ... filter handling ...
+        return context
+```
+
+## Features
+
+1. **Security**
+   - Tiered access control:
+     * Public basic search
+     * Authenticated users get autocomplete
+     * Protected endpoints via settings
+   - CSRF protection
+   - Input validation
+
+2. **Real-time Search**
+   - Debounced input handling
+   - Instant results display
+   - Loading indicators
+
+3. **Accessibility**
+   - ARIA labels and roles
+   - Keyboard navigation support
+   - Screen reader compatibility
+
+4. **Integration**
+   - Works with existing filter system
+   - Maintains view mode selection
+   - Preserves URL state
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- Prefetch related owner data
+- Uses base queryset optimizations
+- Debounced search requests
+- Proper index usage on name field
+
+## Future Improvements
+
+- Consider adding full-text search
+- Implement result caching
+- Add geographic search capabilities
+- Enhance filter integration

+
+## Test Coverage
+
+### Unit Tests
+- `test_autocomplete_results`: Validates search result filtering
+- `test_search_form_valid`: Ensures form validation works
+- `test_autocomplete_class`: Checks autocomplete configuration
+- `test_search_with_filters`: Verifies 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
+
+### 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`
+
+## Configuration
+
+Tests use pytest-django and require:
+- PostgreSQL database
+- HTMX middleware
+- Autocomplete app configuration
+
+## Fixtures
+
+The test suite uses standard Django test fixtures. No additional fixtures required.
+
+## Common Issues
+
+1. Database Errors
+   - Ensure PostGIS extensions are installed
+   - Verify database permissions
+
+2. HTMX Tests
+   - Use `HTTP_HX_REQUEST` header for HTMX requests
+   - Check response content for HTMX attributes
+
+## Adding New Tests
+
+When adding tests, ensure:
+1. Database isolation using `@pytest.mark.django_db`
+2. Proper test naming following `test_*` convention
+3. Clear test descriptions in docstrings
+4. Coverage for both success and failure cases
+5. HTMX interaction testing where applicable
+
+## Future Improvements
+
+- Add performance benchmarks
+- Include accessibility tests
+- Add Playwright e2e tests
+- Implement geographic search tests
