Compose implements fuse.js to enable search functionality. At the time of this writing, search on these theme takes either of this forms:

1. Passive search

This occurs only when the user loads the search page i.e /search/. They can directly navigate to that url. Alternatively, the user can type you search query on the search field and click enter. They will be redirected to the search page which will contain matched results if any.

2. Live search

This behaviour will be obvious as the user types a search query on the search field. for any search queries longer than one character, will yield a list of quick links or a simple no matches found. Else, the user will be prompted to continue typing.

Note that live search on the search page will behave differently than on the other pages. Nonetheles, the pages applies the same live search principle.

Hitting enter while typing on the search page will be moot.
