Allow users to search for wishes by name
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Background
When we start to aggregate a lot of wishes, users may find that the sort options are limiting, and may seek to search by wish.

User Story:
As a user viewing the wishlist, when I want to find a specific wish, then I should be able to see a search box and type in the search results

Acceptance criteria:

  • Users should be able to search for wishes, effectively filtering the table
  • Search should be on wish title only.
  • Ideally users would be able to search for a term even if the term is not the first character or word in a wish title "quickly add infobox "
  • When a user begins a search and doesn't see any data, the table should show "no results"

Note: We should leverage existing search capabilities, and not introduce new searching patterns or logic

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):

@JWheeler-WMF We could potentially remove this from the MVP as Control+F would make it quick to search by name? Up to you.

We can add an InputBox search field, that'll send people to the normal search results (limited to Community Wishlist/Wishes/ prefix). That wouldn't live-filter the table, but would be simple to implement and might do as a short-term workaround for now.
