Add a way to search on non-game browse pages #1135

Open dfabulich opened 2 hours ago

dfabulich commented 2 hours ago

If you click the Browse link in the header, then click on a non-game search type (list, comp, etc.) there's no obvious way to search for items of that type.

I have two ideas on how to do this.

We could just add a search box at the top of browse pages. (Presumably only for non-game browse pages, because the header already has a search box there…?)

Or, we could add a tip box, "Search for competitions". (But tip boxes don't show on mobile #1043 So we'd presumably have to figure out what to do about that.)

I'm for adding the search boxes (which already need some cleanup, because their code is duplicated at the top and bottom of the search page, and there's a big if {} else {} chain that duplicates a lot of code - it needs to be an echo function call)
