Research direction

Start by mapping how the site's split content is organized and where site-wide navigation is defined. Determine how a search box could cover that content, then verify that users can search the site's informative pages from the resulting interface.

Description

design enhancement

I don't see a search box on the site, and I didn't find search mentioned in the issues. Is that correct? Is one in the works?

Users expect a search box on every site, but especially on a site that exists to be informative.

I imagine there are technical challenges because of the split content. We somehow need to solve them.

Imagine the response if we go live without a search box. "They put up this fancy new site and forgot / took away the search box."
