+- Features list
+- Links to full resource pages
+- Download links (where applicable)
+- Visual styling (border colors, emojis)
+
+### Search Functionality
+
+The resources page includes a search feature that filters resources by:
+- **Title** - Search through resource titles
+- **Subtitle** - Search through resource subtitles
+- **Description** - Search through resource descriptions
+- **Features** - Search through resource feature lists
+
+The search interface provides:
+- Real-time filtering as you type
+- Result count display
+- Clear button to reset search
+- "No results" messaging when no resources match
+- Maintains existing styling and layout
+
+### Adding New Resources
+
+To add a new resource, update the `freeResources` array in `src/lib/resources.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  id: 'unique-resource-id',
+  title: 'Resource Title',
+  subtitle: 'Resource Subtitle',
+  description: 'Resource description...',
+  emoji: '🎯',
+  features: ['Feature 1', 'Feature 2'],
+  href: '/resource-page',
+  downloadHref: '/path/to/download.pdf', // Optional
+  downloadLabel: 'Download PDF', // Optional
+  borderColor: 'green' | 'purple',
+  type: 'free',
