📋 Summary
Update the search results page so the full current query remains in the search box, making it easier to refine searches without retyping everything.
❗ Problem
Currently, after performing a search:
The search terms are shown as separate boxes above the search field
The actual search box does not retain the full typed query
Users must retype the entire search string to make small changes
For example, a search like:
platform:arcade title:baseball
shows those values above the box, but not inside it, making repeated query refinement unnecessarily tedious.
💡 Proposal
Keep the full active search query inside the search box on the results page:
Preserve the exact text the user searched for
Allow users to click into the box and quickly edit the existing query
Continue showing parsed query tokens above the box if useful, but not as the only editable representation
📦 Benefits
Makes search refinement much faster and easier
Reduces repetitive typing for advanced searches
Aligns the search experience with common UI best practices
Improves usability for users narrowing results through multiple query attempts
💡 Notes
Token boxes can still remain for visibility, but the main query should stay editable in the field
Especially helpful for complex searches using multiple filters
