search

Page where users can search tasks using several filters

Search Page Overview

This is a public search where users can browse through user-created Tasks on the platform and click to go to a task's details page. Users can choose from several search filters, the majority of which are linked directly to a url parameter - so users have the ability to link directly to a set of search results (or rather, filters that produce a certain set of results).

Key Workflows

Update parameters [Custom workflow]

• Updates a set of URL parameters with data inputted in the search filters. This is triggered each time an input is updated and allows users to link directly to a set of filtered search results

• Search filters on the page pull their default value from URL parameters when available
