• Highlight projects on frontpage
• Search feature
• Search recommendation
• Research: What ways are applicable to show interesting projects from the community on top of the search results or recommendations (page views, likes, forks, contributions as an example) (Priority)
• Research: How can we design an algorithm for search and recommendation while keeping the algorithm easy to maintain and extendible in the future? (Priority)

Issues:

• Research: Data gathering for top search results or recommendations (page views, likes, forks, etc): https://git.fhict.nl/dex/dex-backend/-/issues/59
• Research: How can we design an algorithm for search and recommendation while keeping the algorithm easy to maintain and extendable in the future?: https://git.fhict.nl/dex/dex-backend/-/issues/60
• Implement recommendation algorithm: https://git.fhict.nl/dex/dex-backend/-/issues/61
• Identify and Implement improved search algorithm: https://git.fhict.nl/dex/dex-backend/-/issues/62

User Story: As a guest, I want to be able to search for projects on the platform so that I can find useful projects
Criteria:

1. Assuming the user is on the home or project overview page, it should show search field that the user can use to search by project keyword(= project name, something matching the project description) to find relevant projects
2. While searching, it should show a “loading” sign to the user to indicate that the system is searching
3. If no results are found, we should let the user know and recommend other search terms
4. The platform shows the number of search results under the search field

User Story: As a user, I want to receive recommendations on projects that I might find interesting so that I can more easily explore new and useful projects that are tailored towards my profile
Criteria:

1. Assuming the user is on the home or project overview page, it should show the user recommended projects in a card overview with an image, name, and description showcasing the project. It should also tell the user why this is recommended: “Based on your interest in Educational Software, we think you may like these projects: … “
2. If the user is new to the platform, no recommendations should be shown.
