Build search for resources

Open aymannadeem opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

Search can be used to narrow results to resources. As list of resources grows, it would be desirable to have an easy way to find and access relevant information based on your status (green card holder, work authorized, refugee, etc.).

👋 @aymannadeem

Thank you for building this! 💖

As a start, is this kind of functionality what you had in mind?

search

This is built with list.js and makes it possible to also add sort, and search on meta-data too (for adding search for green card holder, work authorized, etc.).

If this direction looks 👍 I can open a PR. I had to change some of the structure of the html (list.js works on lists, rather than divs), and it can negatively impact the styling because resources are not grouped by rows.

I was actually just about to file a separate issue, but this seem like as good a place to ask as any: would I be correct in thinking that a whole mess of contact info for immigration-focused legal aid clinics and related non-profits? For instance, finding a link to the ACLU is a helpful thing, but more useful would be actionable contact information for the closes ACLU affiliate to your place of residence or current location.
