I wonder if these need to be linkable? The popover is a navigation aid. E.g the query can happen on ALL the pages.

We should discuss the full UX of this and whether we want a generic /search page or if we should forward that to the generic site search page?

If we do want them to be linked we need to take care these are not susceptible to SEO poisoning.

We will need to update our parent's robots.txt which might be hard/messy if these q=? can appear on all the pages.

IIUC, the <link rel="canonical" href="..." /> should avoid this problem. which we already have.

@Mpdreamz what are your thoughts on using the URL fragment.

E.g. elastic.co/docs#search:what+is+ilm would open the popover with "what is ilm"

Not a bad idea! Should never conflict with our slugs.
