Research direction

Reproduce the issue from the nodejs.org/learn/ search bar using the queries and filter selections in the report, then locate the search-bar and filter-result entry points. The fix is complete when selecting each reported filter keeps the search bar and query intact and displays the expected results without clearing the field.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to https://nodejs.org/learn/
  2. Search for 'Delete file' in the search bar
  3. Click on any filter - Notice how the search bar disappears and the search field is cleared

Alternatively,

  1. Search for 'getting started' which we know surely exists in the learn/ docs
  2. Click on first filter(Debugging Node.js) - works as expected
  3. Click on second filter(Security best practices) and the same issue as before resurfaces
