[edit] Search Patterns Wiki

This wiki serves as a gateway to the Search Patterns Library on Flickr and as a Book Collaboratory that supports work on a new book about designing the future of search and discovery to be written and illustrated by Peter Morville and Jeffery Callender.

Please feel free to join our show-and-tell by adding your own search examples, patterns, and anti-patterns. Thanks!
