Treehouse TeacherHey Azzie Fuzzie super is in the final project files on line 10 and you can learn more about super here and the props parameter is coming from the app.js file where performSearch is passed into the searchForm component

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 21,521 PointsAzzie Fuzzie, the SearchForm does not have a constructor; therefore, the super() method is not required. Also in the SearchForm he is using a short cut to initialized the state which is not supported in all browsers, but because He is not using super() method, he does not use "this" to initialize the state. Here is the link of the video where He talks about it. (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/create-a-stateful-component) I would still use the constructor to avoid any issues with browser compatibility.
The props is passed in the app class in the render method under the return statement, look for the ** <SearchForm onSearch={this.performSearch} />**
