    Hello,
    The default search box/search form in the header searches only within my blog posts page.

    I want a default search box/search form, in the Header, that allows visitors to my website to search my entire website, including blog posts page.

    I know that inserting the Search form widget allows this type of global search box/search form to appear in a sidebar, but I’m not looking to put this search box/search form in a sidebar. I want to put this global search box/search form in the Header specifically.

    Is there a Quick CSS that I could add to make this happen? If no, how else can I create this type of global search box/search form in my header?

    Thank you for your assistance. I await your reply.

    Hey mamiewong,

    Please add ” Search Everything ” plugin
    and that will do fix the issue.

    Thank you

    Best regards,

    Hello,
    I see that the problem is that the search form/box that I created in Quick CSS in Enfold shows instant results from only my blog posts when I type in a search term; it ignores the rest of my website completely.

    When I hit my computer keyboard’s return key, that’s when I see the results of searching the entirety of the website, including the blog posts.

    It’s not obvious that visitors to my website have to hit the return key to see search results of my entire website. If they stopped at the instant results (that is, if they did Not hit the return key), they’d only get the search results of the blog posts only.

    Is there a way to change the message, or maybe even disable instant results, making hitting the return key mandatory? I’ve attached a screenshot for your review. Thank you.

    Hi,

    Never heard of that issue before to be honest.
    I have also asked a different support member to look at the issue, so they can update together with me.

    I would appreciate the patience.

    Best regards,

    Dear Basilis and Kriesi folks,
    Any update on my question about search box and “instant results” that show only search results from within blog posts only, versus a global search of my entire website (including the blog) which happens when I hit my computer keyboard’s return button?

    Hi mamiewong,

    Here are some threads to consider:

    Ajax search results and search results page

    https://kriesi.at/support/topic/remove-or-fix-ajax-search-functionality/

    Use Relevanssi in search instead of the default search

    If you need further assistance please let us know.
    Best regards,
    Victoria
