ER: Search Bar Not Persisting Results and Missing Filter Bar Integration #8420
Description

- moved this to New Issue Approval in P: HfLA Website: Project Board
on Nov 14, 2025 Hi @dvernon5, thanks for writing this ER. A couple questions:
- I believe the page reset issue is only occurring in mobile view, can you test it out as well to confirm? Whenever I search in desktop view, the project cards may change because of the search being applied but the page does not reload and it remains scrolled to the same point.
- Do you think this can be broken up into a couple different issues? I think the page reset and filter bar closing problems in mobile view are connected so maybe one issue can address those, and then another issue for the search/filter integration to update the counter and make the clear button work. Let me know what you think.
You're absolutely right, I should have specified that all these issues are happening in mobile view only. Desktop works fine.
Regarding breaking it up: that makes sense to me. Here's how I'm thinking we could split it:
Issue 1: Mobile View - Page Reset & Filter Bar Closing
- Page scrolls to top after search
- Filter bar closes after search is applied
(These seem connected to the same mobile view behavior)
Issue 2: Search/Filter Integration
- Search doesn't update filter counter (still shows "Filters" instead of "Filters (1)")
- Search terms only appear in "Applied Filters" after manually opening the filter bar
- Cannot add multiple search terms continuously, have to reopen filter bar each time
(This affects the overall user experience since search and filters aren't working together seamlessly)
Does that breakdown work? I can create two separate issues if you'd like, or update the current ER to focus on just one of these.

Emergent Requirement - Problem
The search bar on the project page has multiple UX issues that disrupt the user workflow:
Page Reset Issue: When a user searches for an item on the project page in mobile view, the page reloads instead of persisting at the current position, causing the user to have to scroll back down to see their results.
Filter Toolbar Interaction: When the filter toolbar is open in mobile view and a user performs a search, the page reloads and the toolbar closes instead of persisting.
Missing Search/Filter Bar Integration: The search bar does not sync with the filter bar functionality in mobile view:
