Noticed this feature, looks interesting. How can we use this in our own service. I didn't find the component/code anywhere.

Hi @atin33 did you manage to get any help with this question? It may be worth getting in touch with the HO design system working group on Slack. They may be able to point you towards some code examples if they exist.

Thanks @benjystanton. I haven't heard anything yet, will reach out to HO DS team.

It would also be useful to standardise/set best practice across the Home Office for how we clear the search box.
For example

• whether using the x in the input field to clear it is accessible or if we need a link underneath the search box instead/as well
• when we would clear existing search results as well as the search box text
• when we offer the option to replay previous searches to the user
