Search
Use the options from the following section to configure the Search feature in your store, predict and show the items in the drop-down for a user's search query placed in the search bar.
Search
Enable search
Activate the option to display the Search icon or Search bar in the Header.
The menu type of the "Icons menu" determines whether to display the Search icon or Search bar in the Header. To change the menu type, navigate to the Header -> Icons menu.
The theme provides several approaches to the Search configurations based on the "Menu type" selected for the desktop and the search position on mobile:
Search icon
Tip: The header type you chose in Theme settings -> Header and Logo -> Header determines the position of the magnifying glass icon for the Search. It will be displayed either to the left or right of the Logo on desktop view.
By enabling the Search feature in the current section, the Search icon will be displayed in the Header for the:
"Inline" desktop menu type.
"Drawer" option on mobile.
Search popup
Note! The "Search popup" section is required to enable the predictive search popup for the "Inline" menu on the desktop and the "Drawer" option on mobile. Otherwise, visitors will be forwarded to the Search page when hitting the Search icon.
Search bar
By default, the Search bar will be activated for the "Popup" desktop menu type and "Header" position on mobile.
Position on mobile devices
Use one of the options in the "Position on mobile devices" picker to change the Search appearance on mobile:
"Header". If you select the current option, the Search bar will appear beneath the Header.
"Drawer". The Search icon will be placed within the Header using this option.
