+# Orama Search Components
+
+This directory contains components for creating a Node.js-styled Orama Search Box.
+
+A search modal is constructed using the following format, but additional components can also be used.
+
+```jsx
+<SearchModal client={myOramaClient} placeholder={'Search for something...'}>
+  <SearchResults
+    noResultsTitle={'No results found for'}
+    onHit={hit => <MySearchItemComponent hit={hit} />}
+  >
+    {/* If you want to include search suggestions, there's a SearchSuggestions
+    component */}
+    <SearchSuggestions
+      suggestions={['You should search this', 'or this']}
+      label={'Suggestions'}
+    />
+  </SearchResults>
+</SearchModal>
+```
+
+(For this example, `myOramaClient` and `MySearchItemComponent` refer to the Orama client, and search item component, respectively. These variables **are not** included in @node-core/ui-components at this time)
