Search Error Message

An attention-grabbing message indicating something went wrong when using the search engine. This can include user error, like a malformed query, or system error.

Sub-Components

• Icon
• Paragraph

Do

• Place the error message on its own row/line.
• Ensure there is ample vertical space between the message text and surrounding elements.

Don’t

• Use this component when the search is actually producing results. Errors should be shown only when the search fails. For advisory information, use the Search Warning Message.
• Use any other colors, like red or orange. Error messages should use the standard off-black text color.

TODO

• Potentially generalize Search Messages to create a pattern for all error/warning messages.
