The "Search people & businesses" bar at the top of every ShiftSee page used to say "coming soon." Today it works.
Type two letters, find the right person
Search runs across every shifter and every business. As you type, results appear in a dropdown ranked by how connected you already are to the person or place you're looking for. People you're directly connected to come first. Then people you've actually worked with. Then people one hop away in your network. Then everyone else.
Each result tells you what kind of entity it is (a shifter or a business) and surfaces your connection to it ("Connected", "Worked together", "In your network") so you understand why a result is at the top.
If you've used Spotlight on Mac or the Linear command bar, the keyboard feel is familiar. Press Cmd+K (or Ctrl+K on Windows) anywhere on the page to focus the search bar. Arrow keys to navigate, Enter to pick.
When you tap "See all results for X" or hit Enter without picking a row, you land on a full results page at /search. That page has a filter sidebar (filter by type, by connection tier, sort by relevance or name or recency) and pagination, and the URL captures the state so you can share a search with a teammate.
We respect privacy
If a shifter or a business has hidden their public listing, search will still surface them to people they're already connected to. Strangers will not see them. We never expose phone numbers or email addresses through search results, only public profile fields like name, slug, and photo.
Mobile actually works now
The hamburger menu opens a real navigation panel now. It contains the role toggle (Shifter / Business), the three primary business actions (Broadcast Shift, Send Shift Request, Schedule Myself), the tier-2 navigation, the browse links, and an Account section with User Settings, Help, and Logout.
We also fixed the form layout that was bleeding off the right edge of phones on every settings page, and rebuilt the Payment History page on mobile as a clean card list instead of a horizontally scrolling table.
We can also tell when something we shipped works
Every time you click a search result, the platform records (privately) which result you picked and where it ranked. We use that to evaluate whether the connection-weighted ranking actually serves you, or whether we need to tune it. No PII leaves your device beyond what was already in the click event.
What's next
We're building inline quick actions into the search dropdown ("Send shift request" without leaving the bar), geography-based ranking bonuses, and several more design system primitives. We'll write about each of those as they ship.
