Pagination

• disabled button styling
• accessibility
• keys for each link
• disable current page button
• mobile vs desktop; infinite scrolling?
• hover styles
• page numbers look cramped when 3 digits
• if used arrow to go to 1st page or last page, focus should switch to the opposite arrow
• don't show pagination if less than one page

use reducer refactor

• total count is wrong after activating and then deactivating a filter

Errors

• pressing 'enter' when there are no autocomplete suggestions for the input (whether input is nonsense or empty) results in an error
• persist filter choices when modal closes (means )
• does not remember active buttons for styling upon dialog closing
• add filtered options to results text after submitting
• clearing filter options should reset filtered data
• replicate: results not showing properly when filtering through multiple years
• new search should clear filters
