Designing with search data

[eklem]

So, since last time I tried to do a proof-of-concept with search-index running inside Adobe XD, a couple of things has happened. Figma seems to have an okay sandbox-model where you can do a lot (but not things like IndexedDB) in an iframe, and then communicate with your actual Figma file in a more strict way. The second part is that search-index works again with in-memory-storage - memory-level.

I'll try to make the search-index demo to work with memory-level and then just include it in ui.html in a Figma plugin. If we make it work there, the rest is just to communicate search results (typeahead, filters and regular search resluts) with an anctual Figma design.

And for those that haven't heard about "designing with search data", it is just a search take on designing with data - populating your design with real'ish data to make it easier to understand if the design is good and also easier to understand the design.
