RE: Feedback on Web Site Design

Hi Coralie
 
I probably should have been better able to find what I was looking for but I was able to reproduce the 0 results on the wcag 2.1 query. Screenshot pasted below. I hope this helps.
 

 
From the same location, mobile accessibility yields one result (I didn’t notice it yesterday, might have just been me) whereas on the Search from the Home page, I receive many results. Today, thinking about this, this search bar is specific to reports but in my haste yesterday, I wasn’t cluing in on that. Maybe it needs to be more obvious?
 
Thanks!

I’m surprised. I wonder what your journey was because it is different from what I was able to reproduce just now:
 
Starting on the homepage, I click “news and events” from the top menu and “news” (and then “blog”) and use the top “search” field that appears between the “News” (and “Blog”) heading and the menu to browse the archives. In that search field, I entered “wcag 2.1”. There are many results which show from most recent to least the news and blog entries and their date, and there are two pages of results for each.
 
e.g.,
https://www.w3.org/news/?search=wcag+2.1 <https://www.w3.org/news/?search=wcag+2.1>
https://www.w3.org/blog/?search=wcag+2.1 <https://www.w3.org/blog/?search=wcag+2.1>
 
Can you describe what you did so I can reproduce it and get a better understanding of what you describe?
