Better context for users: adding lozenges to your searches.

October 7, 2025 Ian Makgill No comments yet

We’ve added new context for customers typing into our search boxes. A long list of search terms can be hard for users to make sense of. We also wanted to add extra search context for our customers. Using lozenges provides that context, as well as making it easier to dismiss a search term. You no […]
