L1 Pending

Browsing and Searching

By Lint8590 Level 1

Two ways to find what you want: browse subjects or search directly. Which one you use depends on what you’re looking for.

Method 1: Browsing by Subject

The Browse page shows every subject as a card. Each card tells you:

  • What the subject covers
  • How many guides exist
  • The highest level available

Click a subject to see its guides arranged by level. The default view shows L1 — that’s where you should start. Click L2 or L3 to see more advanced guides.

Levels within a subject build on each other. Don’t jump to L2 just because you know something about the topic. The L2 guide assumes you’ve done the L1 guide, and that might cover things you don’t know.

Method 2: Searching

The search bar is in the header. Click it or press Cmd+K (Mac) / Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux).

Search looks through guide titles, descriptions, and subject names. Results show the guide title, what subject it’s in, and its level. Click a result to go straight there.

The search only works after the site has been built (it uses a search index generated at build time). If you’re running in dev mode, use the Browse page search instead.

Understanding Guide Cards

Each guide card shows:

  • Subject tag — What subject it belongs to
  • Title — What the guide covers
  • Description — One or two sentences about the content
  • Level badge — L1, L2, or L3
  • Verified status — Whether it’s passed jury review

Verified guides have a checkmark badge. Unverified guides don’t have one. Both can be useful — unverified just means the jury hasn’t reviewed it yet.
