PRINCIPLES

1. Content Trumps Controls
Most search controls (such as sorting and filtering) should be displaced off-screen so that search results take center stage.
2. Answers Over Results
For “lookup” infor-mation needs, it’s often more ef!cient to directly answering the user’s query rather than force them to click on a search result.
3. Contextual Sensitivity
Strive for awareness of the the user’s context, such as their task, location, and social surroundings.
4. Cross-Channel Continuity
The actions performed on any particular channel should propagate to all other channels of the ecosystem.
4. Cross-Channel Continuity
