You know exactly what to
Tanaka Samukange
You know exactly what to type into your own search box.
A new user doesn't.
They open it and see a blinking cursor.
Then they have to guess what your app can do.
I designed an empty search screen for an AI food tracker concept here's what I put in it (if you want to steal it).
Example questions at the top, like "High-protein dinner, 600 kcal".
Those 4 words tell a new user more than a blinking cursor does.
Recent searches, but only once there's history.
A new user has none.
A few big buttons for people who'd rather tap than type, like Breakfast and Dinner.
Barcode scan pinned to the bottom, where a thumb can reach it.
Clear your history, log out of your own app & open search.
If you wouldn't know what to type, neither will they.
