What it is

A text row for site search, lighter than a card. ol.hs-results holds the rows; a hairline ends each row, and the results bar above draws the top line. Each row has a type label, a Didot title link, the page path and a snippet.

When to use

  • The site search results page: scholarships, benefits, articles and pages in one ranked list.
  • Any ranked list of mixed page types where an image or a value would not add a fact.

When not to use

  • One type of item with a key figure (an amount, a discount): use a catalog Card in a grid.
  • People: use the Member card row list.
  • Two to six related routes: use the Link list.

Rules

  • Markup: ol.hs-results > li.hs-result > p.hs-result__type, h2.hs-result__title > a, p.hs-result__path, p.hs-result__text.
  • The title is h2 when the list sits directly under the page H1, as on the search page. Under a band h2 it is h3.
  • The type label is one word from a fixed set: "Scholarship", "Benefit", "Article", "Page", "University". A Status may follow it in the same line.
  • The title link is the row's only link. The path is the site-relative URL as text, not a link.
  • The snippet is plain text with the matched words in strong. Escape everything else. No author names, no dates in the snippet.
  • Use ol: the order is the ranking.

Accessibility

  • The title is a heading, so a screen reader can jump result to result.
  • The type label is text, not colour.
  • Type slate 6.2:1, title navy 12.4:1, path and text slate 6.2:1, match ink 13.0:1 on white.
  • The title link has 4px padding above and below; the hover underline change has a 200ms transition that reduced motion removes.
