Suggested Mocks for the search page

A text box where you can type your queries. The file icon on the left lets you upload a file from your machine. The filter icons on the right opens a search settings page.

Search page with results

UI after local file has been selected for searching

Settings Page

Searching for advanced query

Our search interface should allow certain advanced queries in the future. This mode is enabled when users type query: into the search bar. after entering a space after query: the special label for query should appear allowing users to then start writing the query. I can share some references later on what the UX of this should feel like.

Look into the keyboard component from Grommet - https://v2.grommet.io/keyboard
this will help us so that users can press return or enter to trigger the search query. There's no explicit button for it. we can revisit this decision if its a concern from accessibility pov

API endpoints on Feluda

1. /search returns post ids of the matching search results
2. /suggest returns an array of strings

I will document the various possible payloads of the /search endpoint shortly. this endpoint will need to support accepting text but also files for images or videos
