-
Search: discoverable with instant feedback. Place search fields where users expect them (top of list, toolbar/navigation bar). Show results as the user types.
-
Page controls: position in a flat page sequence. For discrete, equally weighted pages (onboarding, photo gallery). Show current page and total count.
-
Path controls: file hierarchy navigation. macOS path controls display location within a directory structure and allow jumping to any ancestor.
-
Search scopes narrow large result sets. Provide scope buttons so users can filter without complex queries.
-
Clear empty states for search. Helpful message suggesting corrections or alternatives, not a blank screen.
-
Page controls are not for hierarchical navigation. Flat, linear sequences only. Use navigation controllers, tab bars, or sidebars for hierarchy.
-
Keep path controls concise. Show meaningful segments only. Users can click any segment to navigate directly.
-
Support keyboard for search. Command-F and system search shortcuts should activate search.
