Feature 3: Search for Favors (stretch goal)

[rupaltotale]

User Story

As a Cal Poly student user registered with an account on Favor, I want to be able to search for a Favor so that I can find the service that I am looking for quickly.

Use Case

Name "Search for Favor"

Description User is able to search for a specific Favor from the home page by typing a search query into the search bar.

Precondition

• User is registered with an account and signed in
• User can find the search bar on the homepage

Happy Path or Course of Action

1. User navigates to home page
2. User sees search bar above list of available Favors
3. User enters search query into search bar and hits 'Enter'
4. Search query filters Favors by matching Favor titles and descriptions to the query
5. Favors are presented that match the given search query

Postcondition Favors that match the given search query are presented to the user on the home page. Favors that don't match the search query are not presented.

Alternative Paths

• User enters search query that does not match any Favors in the database
  • User should be notified (via a warning message) that there are no Favors that match the given search query in the database.
• User misspells the name of a Favor
  • A warning message will come up, saying that the query didn't match any existing Favors (similar to the one above).

Acceptance tests

• Verify that a user can search for a Favor based on the Favor's title
• Verify that a user can search for a Favor based on the Favor's description
• Verify that a user receives a warning message when they submit a search query that does not match to any existing Favors
