feat: complete monorepo structure with frontend and shared resources

- Add complete backend/ directory with full Django application
- Add frontend/ directory with Vite + TypeScript setup ready for Next.js
- Add comprehensive shared/ directory with:
  - Complete documentation and memory-bank archives
  - Media files and avatars (letters, park/ride images)
  - Deployment scripts and automation tools
  - Shared types and utilities
- Add architecture/ directory with migration guides
- Configure pnpm workspace for monorepo development
- Update .gitignore to exclude .django_tailwind_cli/ build artifacts
- Preserve all historical documentation in shared/docs/memory-bank/
- Set up proper structure for full-stack development with shared resources

+# Ride Search HTMX Improvements
+
+## Implementation Status: ✅ COMPLETED AND VERIFIED
+
+### Current Implementation
+
+#### 1. Smart Search (Implemented)
+- Split search terms for flexible matching (e.g. "steel dragon" matches "Steel Dragon 2000")
+- Searches across multiple fields:
+  - Ride name
+  - Park name
+  - Description
+- Uses Django Q objects for complex queries
+- Real-time HTMX-powered updates
+
+#### 2. Search Suggestions (Implemented)
+- Real-time suggestions with 200ms delay
+- Three types of suggestions:
+  - Common matching ride names (with count)
+  - Matching parks (with location)
+  - Matching categories (with ride count)
+- Styled dropdown with icons and hover states
+- Keyboard navigation support
+
+#### 3. Quick Filters (Implemented)
+- Category filters from CATEGORY_CHOICES
+- Operating status filter
+- All filters use HTMX for instant updates
+- Maintains search context when filtering
+- Visual active state on selected filter
+
+#### 4. Active Filter Tags (Implemented)
+- Shows currently active filters:
+  - Search terms
+  - Selected category
+  - Operating status
+- One-click removal via HTMX
+- Updates URL for bookmarking/sharing
+
+#### 5. Visual Feedback (Implemented)
+- Loading spinner during HTMX requests
+- Clear visual states for filter buttons
+- Real-time feedback on search/filter actions
+- Dark mode compatible styling
+
+### Technical Details
+
+#### View Implementation
+```python
+def get_queryset(self):
+    """Get filtered rides based on search and filters"""
+    queryset = Ride.objects.all().select_related(
+        'park',
+        'ride_model',
+        'ride_model__manufacturer'
+    ).prefetch_related('photos')
+
+    # Search term handling
+    search = self.request.GET.get('q', '').strip()
+    if search:
+        # Split search terms for more flexible matching
+        search_terms = search.split()
+        search_query = Q()
+        
+        for term in search_terms:
+            term_query = Q(
+                name__icontains=term
+            ) | Q(
+                park__name__icontains=term
+            ) | Q(
+                description__icontains=term
+            )
+            search_query &= term_query
+        
+        queryset = queryset.filter(search_query)
+
+    # Category filter
+    category = self.request.GET.get('category')
+    if category and category != 'all':
+        queryset = queryset.filter(category=category)
+
+    # Operating status filter
+    if self.request.GET.get('operating') == 'true':
+        queryset = queryset.filter(status='operating')
+
+    return queryset
+```
+
+#### Template Structure
+- `ride_list.html`: Main template with search and filters
+- `search_suggestions.html`: Dropdown suggestion UI
+- `ride_list_results.html`: Results grid (HTMX target)
+
+#### Key Fixes Applied
+1. Template Path Resolution
+   - CRITICAL FIX: Resolved template inheritance confusion
+   - Removed duplicate base.html templates
+   - Moved template to correct location: templates/base/base.html
+   - All templates now correctly extend "base/base.html"
+   - Template loading order matches Django's settings
+
+2. URL Resolution
+   - Replaced all relative "." URLs with explicit URLs using {% url %}
+   - Example: `hx-get="{% url 'rides:global_ride_list' %}"`
+   - Prevents conflicts with global search in base template
+
+3. HTMX Configuration
+   - All HTMX triggers properly configured
+   - Fixed grid layout persistence:
+     * Removed duplicate grid classes from parent template
+     * Grid classes now only in partial template
+     * Prevents layout breaking during HTMX updates
+   - Proper event delegation for dynamic content
+
+### Verification Points
+1. ✅ Search updates in real-time
+2. ✅ Filters work independently and combined
+3. ✅ Suggestions appear as you type
+4. ✅ Loading states show during requests
+5. ✅ Dark mode properly supported
+6. ✅ URL state maintained for sharing
+7. ✅ No conflicts with global search
+8. ✅ All templates resolve correctly
+
+### Future Considerations
+1. Consider caching frequent searches
+2. Monitor performance with large datasets
+3. Add analytics for most used filters
+4. Consider adding saved searches feature
