 ## 2024-11-21 - Centering Empty States for TUI Lists
 **Learning:** Rendering an empty list message (like "no matches") in the top-left corner of the list area can look unbalanced, especially when rendering lists in large UI components or side panes.
 **Action:** Always center the text for empty state indicators in lists visually (using `.alignment(ratatui::layout::Alignment::Center)`) and vertically (using `center_text(msg, area.height)`) when using `Paragraph` to render empty states in a list widget.
+
+## 2024-11-23 - Search Input Placeholders
+**Learning:** In the TUI, empty text inputs for `branch`, `finder`, and `grep` simply showed `> ` without indication of what the user should type. Blank spaces do not provide enough context for the user to understand what input is expected, which hurts discoverability and usability.
+**Action:** When implementing search or filter input fields in a TUI, always include descriptive placeholder text (e.g., using `Color::DarkGray`) when the query is empty. This acts as an inline hint. Make sure to account for the width of the placeholder text when calculating alignment paddings to maintain balanced layouts.
