Right now its hard for user to know which result they should choose. Explore adding snippets to show the user how their search shows up on that page.

Example:

I don't know which result to choose and I forgot whether I searched for General Allotment Act or Dawes Act:

There are several ways in which the search results can be improved:

• Include the exact text that was put into the search bar (i.e. "Search results for "[input search terms]".")
• Number of results (i.e. "[#] of results" at the bottom)
• Snippet of how the search result shows up on that page (more text description after the title and subtitle of page)
• At bottom number of pages, indicator of what page you are on, ways to tab through pages

NRRD

vs. ONRR

Search code falls under SearchResults.js in the code.

Search result returns: site search index using URL Search Params and then also returns index using glossary terms.

After talking with Lindsay, it probably makes sense to take on this search result task when we turn our attention to NRRD in Q2.

@greensomes to research the use of search.gov with an application to index the data. Do they have documentation of this?

The search.gov API for pushing data to their index is still available: i14y
