Feature 1: Search Catalog

As a user, I want to search the catalog so that I can find specific products

Ideas for Tests

  1. Search for existing product by name
  2. Search for existing product by description
  3. Search for existing product with special characters
  4. Search for product that does not exist
  5. Search using very long text
  6. Search using a term that matches the name that returns multiple products
  7. Search for a product that is sold out
  8. Search with blank String
