Summary

Antenna now hosts enough projects that finding one in the gallery means scrolling. This adds a search box to the projects page that filters by project name and description. It is the first of a few small changes toward an overview of all projects (a sortable table and a map follow in separate PRs), so people can see where activity is happening across Antenna.

Search respects the existing visibility rules: draft projects only match for their owner and members, exactly as in the unfiltered list.

Projects page filtered by the term "amber"

List of Changes

Change (user effect) How
The project list API accepts ?search= and matches project name or description search_fields = ["name", "description"] on ProjectViewSet; DRF SearchFilter was already a default backend
A search box on the projects page filters as you type New SearchInput component (debounced 300 ms)
The search term is kept in the URL, so a filtered list can be shared or reloaded New useSearch hook mirroring useSort / useSelectedView; changing the term also clears page in the same URL write
Searching for something with no match no longer shows the "Get started" panel Empty-state check skips it while a search is active

Detailed Description

setSearch clears the page parameter itself instead of the page calling setPage(0) afterwards. Each hook gets its own URLSearchParams instance from useSearchParams(), so two sequential writes from two hooks would let the second overwrite the first.

How to Test the Changes

  1. Open /projects, switch to "All projects", type part of a project name. The list and result count update, and the URL gains ?search=.
  2. Reload the page: the term and results persist.
  3. docker compose run --rm django python manage.py test ami.main.tests.TestProjectListSearch (name/description match; drafts hidden when signed out).

Checklist

  • Tests added for the new API behaviour
  • tsc --noEmit, eslint and prettier pass
  • Tested in a browser against a local copy of the data

The search term lives in the URL like sort and view, and a new term
returns to the first page in the same URL write.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The project list API now searches project names and descriptions. The projects page adds a debounced search field backed by URL query state and combines the search filter with the existing My Projects filter.

Layer / File(s) Summary

The change is mergeable with a targeted test follow-up: owner and member access to matching drafts is not protected against a search-specific regression.

Browser Back and Forward now update the text in the search box, and a
pending keystroke can no longer restore the previous term. The text also
sits on the same baseline as the neighbouring controls.

Searching "moths" while signed out already shows the draft is left out,
and members seeing drafts in the list is covered by the project draft tests.

2340-2363: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Cover draft matches for authenticated users

test_search_matches_name_and_description uses an unauthenticated client. Its "moths" assertion verifies draft exclusion, not that an owner or member can find the matching draft. The existing draft-list test does not pass a search parameter, so it would not detect a search-specific regression.

Suggested fix
     def setUp(self) -> None:
         self.owner = User.objects.create_user(email="search-owner@insectai.org")
+        self.member = User.objects.create_user(email="search-member@insectai.org")
         self.moth_project = Project.objects.create(name="Moths of Quebec", owner=self.owner)
         self.beetle_project = Project.objects.create(
             name="Field station", description="Night beetle survey", owner=self.owner
         )
         self.draft_project = Project.objects.create(name="Draft moths", owner=self.owner, draft=True)
+        self.draft_project.members.add(self.member)
         return super().setUp()

Claude says: On the nitpick about covering draft matches for signed-in users: this test was removed on purpose, as a duplicate. The search filter only narrows the queryset that get_queryset has already limited to projects the user may see. So a member finding their draft through search depends on two things: the draft list tests (test_member_can_view_draft_project and the related tests), which pin that the draft is visible, and test_search_matches_name_and_description, which pins that a matching name is found. A search-specific regression would need the search filter to widen the visible set, which DRF's SearchFilter does not do. Leaving it as is unless a reviewer prefers the extra case.
