hakupaneeli

Hakupaneeli is a Finnish term for a user interface component that provides search and filtering functionality within a digital system. It is typically a panel or widget where users enter queries and refine results using filters, facets, and sorting options. The term combines hak u (search) and paneeli (panel). In practice, hakupaneeli refers to the front-end elements that support discovery of data, documents, products, or services.

A typical hakupaneeli includes a search field, optional advanced search controls, a set of filters or facets, sorting controls, and a results area with summaries and links to details. It may support features such as autosuggest, wildcard or query syntax, saved searches, and keyboard navigation for accessibility. The design aims for fast response times and clear presentation of counts and results, as well as responsive behavior for different devices.

Common contexts include library catalogs (where users search for books and media), job portals, e-government or municipal service portals, and e-commerce sites. In such contexts, hakupaneeli helps users to narrow down large datasets and to locate items or records efficiently.
