Search, Categories, and Suggested Posts

The blog directory is intentionally URL-driven so filtering, pagination, and suggestions remain predictable in App Router.

Search, Categories, and Suggested Posts

Search, Categories, and Suggested Posts#

The directory needs to feel simple from the outside and deterministic from the inside.

URL-driven filtering#

The directory uses query parameters:

  • q for search
  • category for filtering
  • page for pagination

That keeps the state shareable and crawlable.

Ranking rules#

Search ranks title and description matches above category, tags, and body content. That helps obvious results rise to the top.

Suggested posts#

Suggested posts can come from three strategies:

  1. related posts
  2. recent posts
  3. manual curation with automatic backfill

The example site defaults to related posts so the demo shows useful relevance out of the box.
