# Search Implementation
## Overview
The search functionality has been migrated from Django to Laravel/Livewire while maintaining feature parity and improving the user experience with real-time filtering and autocomplete.
## Key Components
### SearchComponent (app/Livewire/SearchComponent.php)
- Handles search and filtering logic
- Uses Livewire's real-time search capabilities
- Maintains query parameters in URL
- Implements pagination for results
- Integrates with AutocompleteComponent for suggestions
### AutocompleteComponent (app/Livewire/AutocompleteComponent.php)
- Provides real-time search suggestions
- Keyboard navigation support
- Dark mode compatible
- Zero additional JavaScript dependencies
- Uses Alpine.js (included with Livewire) for interactions
#### Features
- Real-time suggestions with debounce
- Keyboard navigation (up/down/enter/escape)
- Click away to close
- Accessible ARIA attributes
- Mobile-friendly design
## Implementation Details
### Search Functionality
```php
protected function getFilteredParks()
{
return Park::query()
->select('parks.*')
->with(['location', 'photos'])
->when($this->search, function (Builder $query) {
$query->where(function (Builder $query) {
$query->where('name', 'like', "%{$this->search}%")
->orWhere('description', 'like', "%{$this->search}%");
});
})
// Additional filters...
->paginate(10);
}
```
### Autocomplete Integration
```php
#[On('suggestion-selected')]
public function handleSuggestionSelected($id, $text): void
{
$park = Park::find($id);
if ($park) {
$this->search = $text;
$this->filtersApplied = $this->hasActiveFilters();
redirect()->route('parks.show', $park);
}
}
```
