How to implement a search function in a WeWeb website?

Step 1: Login to Your WeWeb Account
To get started, first, sign in to your WeWeb account. Navigate to the home page and click on the 'Login' button typically located at the top right of the screen. Enter your login details and sign in to your account.

Step 2: Go to Your Website Dashboard
Once you are logged in, locate the list of your websites on the Dashboard. Click on the website you want to implement the search function on. This will redirect you to the site editor.

Step 3: Access Site Editor
Now that you're on your website's dashboard, you can access your site editor. On the left-hand side, you should see different interactive options for site editing. Choose the one required to modify your website's layout and content.

Step 4: Add a Section for Search Bar
Towards the top or the side of your webpage (based on your preference) add a new section for a search bar. Use drag and drop functionalities provided by WeWeb. This place will host the 'Search' functionality.

Step 5: Choose Element
After the section is created, click the '+' sign to add a new element. Search for "Search bar" or "Search" in the pop-up box. Drag and drop the "Search Bar" element to the section where you want it to be placed.

Step 6: Customize Your Search Bar
Once the search bar is placed, customize it according to your website’s theme. You can change its size, background color, button style, placeholder text, and much more to align it with your website’s theme.

Step 7: Configure Your Search Bar
Now, it's time to configure your search bar to make it functional. Click on your search bar and go to settings. Here, you can define the data source from which the search results should be pulled, the number of results to be displayed, and more. Save these settings once done.

Step 8: Apply Site Changes
With the search bar correctly configured, apply the changes to your website. Click the "Apply" or "Save" button on the top right corner to save the changes.

Step 9: Test Your Search Function
Now it is time to test your search function. Preview your website and attempt a search to ensure the function is working correctly.

** Step 10: Publish Your Website**
Once you are satisfied with the Search function, and its settings, publish your website. Navigate to the top right corner of your site editor, you'll see the "Publish" button. Click on it to make your website live.

Congratulations, you've successfully added a search function to your WeWeb website!
