I'm interested in your opinions regarding a findability-focused, UX-oriented pattern library.
When developing enterprise search solutions over the last 10 years, my experience has consistently been that UX-driven features that are crucial to findability rarely make it into the actual services. Consequently, the services often suffer from findability of 20% or less in the «unstructured data behind the firewall» scenario. To remedy, I’m wondering if there’s interest in a findability-focused, UX-oriented repository for teams building enterprise search solutions. I have made a start here: https://github.com/bjornte/UX-patterns-for-findability/ All of the described concepts would benefit from support from the core technical search service. I therefore have some open questions: Are there some technically inclined committers who see the value of supporting these UX concepts with reusable code? More in general, do you have opinions on how to best create a repository that will be valuable to the community? Please let me know if I can clarify my request in any way. Everyone are welcome to make commits also to the UX part of the repository. Thanks in advance for any and all interest. Best regards, Bjørn Tennøe, interaction designer Mormor design
