Search input summary on iOS

This is a small cog in the complex ecosystem of Search Controls – a component that handles the inputs within a modal. This will align Flights, Hotels, and Car Hire where there are global controls.

👏 Thanks to Soheil Novinfard and Yura Reutskiy for contributing.

Segmented Control

The plan to deliver a simple segmented control (web first) is in place. This can be used in a simple format or to represent our “best, fastest or cheapest” feature.

This will be contributed in Q2.
