+# Phase 5 Plan 02: Search & Filtering — COMPLETED
+
+## Summary
+
+Successfully implemented real-time search functionality across the inventory system. Users can now search for items using a dedicated modal with results matching across all text fields (Name, Part Number, Barcode, Description, Category, Type, OCR Text). Integrated with quick quantity adjustment workflow.
+
+---
+
+## Tasks Completed
+
+### Task 1: Backend Search Endpoint ✓
+**File:** `/backend/routers/items.py`
+**Status:** COMPLETED (70 lines)
+
+- Endpoint: `GET /items/search?q={query}`
+- Validation: Query 1-100 chars (empty returns empty list)
+- Scoring system: Exact name (+500), prefix match (+250), substring (+100), then PN, barcode, description, category matches
+- Returns: Max 50 results ordered by relevance score
+- Authentication: Requires valid user token
+
+**Key Features:**
+- Case-insensitive matching across all text fields
+- Relevance-based scoring prioritizes name matches
+- Deterministic sorting by score then name for consistency
+
+### Task 2: SearchModal Component ✓
+**File:** `/frontend/components/inventory/SearchModal.tsx`
+**Status:** COMPLETED (220 lines)
+
+- Modal UI with search input field + results list
+- Auto-focus input on modal open
+- Real-time search with 300ms debouncing
+- Result rows display: Name, PN, Barcode, current Qty
+- Keyboard support: Escape to close, Enter to submit
+- Loading spinner during API calls
+- Error message display on search failure
+- Item selection triggers `onSelectItem` callback
+
+**Key Features:**
+- Mobile-responsive layout (max-width: 2xl)
+- Accessibility: ARIA labels, proper button semantics
+- Empty state messaging ("Start typing to search")
+- Clean visual hierarchy with Lucide icons
+
+### Task 3: useItemSearch Hook ✓
+**File:** `/frontend/hooks/useItemSearch.ts`
+**Status:** COMPLETED (110 lines)
+
+- Query-based search with debouncing (300ms)
+- Client-side min 2-char validation
+- Result caching per query (avoids redundant API calls)
+- Returns: `{ results, isLoading, error }`
+- Graceful error handling with error state
+- Cleanup on unmount (clears timers and cache)
+
+**Key Features:**
+- Configurable debounce interval
+- Cache prevents duplicate API calls for same query
+- Network error handling with descriptive messages
+- Optimized for performance (disabled searches return empty)
+
+### Task 4: Add Search Button to Inventory Page ✓
+**File:** `/frontend/app/inventory/page.tsx`
+**Status:** COMPLETED (integration + 40 lines of logic)
+
+- Search button added to header with magnifying glass icon (Search from Lucide)
+- Button placement: left of Boxes Manager button
+- Click handler: `setShowSearchModal(true)`
+- Modal state management: `showSearchModal`, `selectedSearchItem`, `showQuantityModal`
+- Integration callbacks: `handleSearchItemSelect`, `handleQuantityModalClose`
+
+**Key Features:**
+- Focus returns to search button after modal close
+- Mobile-responsive button sizing
+- Consistent styling with existing toolbar
+
+### Task 5: Quantity Adjustment Modal ✓
+**File:** `/frontend/components/inventory/QuantityAdjustmentModal.tsx`
+**Status:** COMPLETED (140 lines)
+
+- Modal triggered when user selects search result
+- Displays: Item name, PN, Barcode, Category, Description
+- Reuses `QuantityDisplay` component from Plan 01
+- +/- buttons and tap-to-edit quantity input
+- Commit button saves changes via PATCH /items/{id}
+- Cancel button closes without saving
+- Success toast on save, error toast on failure
+
+**Key Features:**
+- Optimistic UI updates (immediate visual feedback)
+- Debounced API calls (100ms)
+- Clean success/error messaging
+- Modal fade animation on close
+
+### Task 6: Integration & E2E Tests ✓
+**File:** `/backend/tests/test_items.py` (11 test methods, 280 lines)
+**File:** `/frontend/tests/inventory/search.test.ts` (15 test cases, 200 lines)
+**Status:** COMPLETED
+
+**Backend Tests (Pytest):**
+- `test_search_items_by_name_exact_match` — Exact name matching
+- `test_search_items_by_part_number` — PN field search
+- `test_search_items_by_barcode` — Barcode field search
+- `test_search_items_by_category` — Category field search
+- `test_search_items_partial_match` — Substring matching
+- `test_search_items_no_results` — Empty result handling
+- `test_search_items_empty_query` — Empty query validation
+- `test_search_items_max_length_query` — Query length limits
+- `test_search_items_case_insensitive` — Case insensitivity
+- `test_search_items_relevance_ordering` — Relevance scoring
+- `test_search_items_max_50_results` — Result limit enforcement
+
+**Frontend Tests (Vitest):**
+- `test_empty_query_returns_empty_results` — Empty query handling
+- `test_min_2_chars_validation` — Client-side validation
+- `test_fetch_items_on_valid_query` — API integration
+- `test_debounce_search_requests` — Debouncing behavior
+- `test_cache_results_per_query` — Caching functionality
+- `test_handle_search_errors` — Error state management
+- `test_handle_failed_api_responses` — Failed response handling
+- `test_enabled_false_returns_empty_results` — Disabled state
+- Integration tests for special characters, empty results, etc.
+
+---
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### With Plan 01 (Quick Quantity Adjustment)
+- Reuses `QuantityDisplay` component for quantity adjustments
+- Quantity modal triggered by search result selection
+- Same quantity adjustment patterns (+/-, tap-to-edit)
+
+### With Existing Inventory Page
+- Search button added to page header toolbar
+- Integrates with existing item state management
+- Uses same API base URL and authentication tokens
+

+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Architecture
+```
+Frontend Flow:
+  User clicks Search button 
+    → SearchModal opens (auto-focus input)
+    → User types query
+    → useItemSearch debounces & calls API
+    → Results display in modal
+    → User clicks item
+    → QuantityAdjustmentModal opens
+    → User adjusts quantity
+    → Save via PATCH /items/{id}
+    → Success toast + modal closes
+
+Backend Flow:
+  GET /items/search?q={query}
+    → Validate query (1-100 chars)
+    → Load all items
+    → Score each item across all text fields
+    → Sort by score (desc) then name (asc)
+    → Return top 50 results
+```
+
+### Search Scoring Algorithm
+```
+Exact matches:  +500 (name), +200 (PN), +180 (barcode)
+Prefix matches: +250 (name), +150 (PN)
+Substring:      +100 (name), +50 (PN), +40 (barcode), +30 (desc), +20 (cat), +15 (type), +10 (OCR)
+```
+
+### Performance Optimizations
+- Debouncing: 300ms (prevents excessive API calls)
+- Caching: Per-query result caching on frontend
+- Limit: Max 50 results returned from backend
+- Client validation: Min 2 chars before API call

+
+## Known Limitations & Deferred Items
+
+1. **Advanced Filtering** — Deferred to Phase 6+ (Category filters, Location filters, Date ranges)
+2. **Pagination** — Currently returns max 50 results; pagination deferred
+3. **Full-Text Search DB** — Using in-memory scoring; SQLite full-text search deferred
+4. **Search History** — Not implemented; can be added in Phase 6
+5. **Autocomplete** — Suggestions not included; can be added later
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Phase 5 Plan 03** — Export/Reports (CSV + Excel)
+2. **Phase 6** — Advanced filtering, pagination, search history
+3. **Phase 6+** — Full-text search database optimization
+4. **Post-Phase 5** — Performance monitoring and query optimization
