## About

The questions people ask before they start: search as you type with matches marked in place, topics, answers that open without moving the page, and a person to ask when it isn’t there.

## Details

- Type and the list narrows letter by letter, with every match marked where it is. When a question only matched in its answer, a line of that answer comes up under it, so you can see why it’s there.
- Nothing found turns into a way forward: Ask the team carries the search with it.
- Answers open by their own height and the list stacks its rows by transform, so opening one, filtering or switching topic never moves anything else on the page.
- Every answer asks whether it helped, and the reply takes the same place the question did.
- It behaves like an accordion should: up and down move between questions, Home and End go to the ends, Escape clears the search.
- On wide screens the heading, search and contact card stay put beside the list. Below 896px they sit above it.
