The search component is live in the MoJ Design System.

Use this discussion to suggest changes and improvements to this component.

@chrispymm commented on #618

_Standard GOV.UK design system text inputs allow a html option to be passed instead of text for the hint text. The search component does not allow this, and passing a hint with an html key simply renders an empty hint element.

For consistency with the main design system and ease of use for developers we should follow GOV.UK conventions and match where possible the options accepted by the GOV.UK text input._

#618 will be closed as this discussion will be reviewed when the search component is improved.

GOV.UK launched an A/B test of an autocomplete feature on their site search. Details are in this Slack post (internal to MoJ). Findings from this test may be relevant for this MoJ DS component should this feature be considered for an iteration.
