**Clickable prototypes: ** [[ http://pauginer.github.io/prototypes/flow/search/index.html | Search ]] and [[ http://pauginer.github.io/prototypes/flow/filters/index.html | Filtering ]]
As a user, I would like to search in a Flow board for keywords, so I can find topics and posts that include terms I'm interested in.
The idea is to provide an integrated bar where search, browsing (ToC), and filtering are supported.

A couple of prototypes ([[ http://pauginer.github.io/prototypes/flow/search/index.html | search ]] and [[ http://pauginer.github.io/prototypes/flow/filters/index.html | filtering ]]) are available to try the basic idea, although the designs have been iterated and a more precise description of how things are expected to work is provided below.
**Turn ToC bar into Search bar**

{F189091}
{F189093}
{F189095}
**Move sorting options to ellipsis menu next to Search/ToC bar**
{F189098}
**Highlight current results on the current Flow board**
{F189100}
**Show an overview of all matches found in a Flow board**
{F189102}
**Navigate through results when searching a Flow board**
{F189104}
**Show matching topics when searching a Flow board**
{F189107}
**Clear search box**
{F189109}
**"No results found" error handling**
{F189111}
{F189113}
**Loading indicator for search**
{F189115}

##Additional considerations
- Different search options and saved/recent searches are for later iterations.
