Inputs
Search
Full-text search with CJK IME composition, results list, and navigation to match.
Design question
Where does the search input appear in a vertical interface, and how does it integrate with vertical IME?
Default
The search field itself runs vertically on the reading-start (right) edge — the caret and query text advance top→bottom via `writing-mode: vertical-rl`. Results read as vertical columns flowing right-to-left on the same axis, each match highlighted by background, never rotation.
Guidance
Do
- ✓Keep the search input horizontal — composition requires horizontal baseline
- ✓Show results in a scannable list, not vertical columns
- ✓Highlight matches with background color, not text rotation
Don't
- ✗Display search results as vertical text — this slows scanning
- ✗Open search in a new page — use an overlay so position is preserved
- ✗Assume Korean/Japanese/Chinese input works without IME event handling
Accessibility
role='search'. aria-live region for results count. Results list with role='listbox'.
Open Question
Should search results be displayed horizontally (for faster scanning) or vertically (to match the reader's current mode)?
