Adding the search guidance hints to the search results page too
When entering a search term, there is some guidance showing above the text box:

![The area above the search box, containing hints on each type of search term](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/k7ydz0soikv7qk6ibupjioyumaci)

The guidance is only shown before the initial search. Could it also be shown above the text box of the search results page, so the user can refer to it before narrowing down the search with additional terms?

Perhaps on the search results page it could be expandable/collapsible to save space for users who no longer need it.
