design search
Design search involves the process of searching for existing artifacts, designs, or concepts related to a specific design problem or idea.
In addition to searching existing design artifacts, the concept of design search also include the searching for design solutions outside the boundaries of the project.
For example, online design repositories such as Google materials.io, design-focused search engines, and design-specific social networks allow designers to search for and explore a vast range of design artifacts, including images, prototypes, sketches, and more. There is also the concept of using ChatGPT to search for design ideas.
The design search artifact is defined as a document that includes two sections of text, one describing intra-project search efforts and other describing extra-project search efforts.
