What it does
The end-to-end search-UX skill from Owl-Listener's designer-skills: search input and autocomplete, results layout and ranking, faceted filtering, the often-neglected zero-results state (treated as a retention moment), and search analytics (zero-result queries, click position, abandonment).
When NOT to use
- Backend search indexing/relevance tuning → an engineering concern, not this skill
- General navigation IA → use
