The Endeca User Interface Design Pattern Library (UIDPL) describes principled ways to solve common user interface design problems related to search, faceted navigation, and discovery.
The library includes both specific UI design patterns as well as topics — groups of patterns related to significant aspects of search and discovery such as:
* Search
* Faceted Navigation
* Promotional Spotlighting
* Results Manipulation
The patterns are offered as proposed sets of design guidelines based on our research and design experience as well as lessons learned from the information search and discovery community. They are NOT the only solutions, strict recipes etched in stone, or a substitute for sound human-centered design practices.
