Hey Everyone,

I’ve been asked by my client to remove the search magnifying glass that is standard with the Enfold theme (that opens the pop-up AJAX search box below it) and instead just have a regular search box right in it’s place. I’m assuming this isn’t too difficult, but after a couple of hours of searching and sifting through the code, I figured maybe someone else could point me in the right direction?

Here is the link to their site: http://instaglucose-com.web10.prepropagate.com

Thanks for the help as always everyone!

Hi jnhaswell!

Thank you for using the theme!

You can add this on functions.php to remove the search icon and add the actual search form right after the main menu:
```
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'avia_append_search_nav', 10, 2 );

function avia_append_search_nav ( $items, $args )
	{	
		if(avia_get_option('header_searchicon','header_searchicon') != "header_searchicon") return $items;
	
	    if ((is_object($args) && $args->theme_location == 'avia') || (is_string($args) && $args = "fallback_menu"))
	    {
	        global $avia_config;
	        ob_start();
			$getform = get_search_form(false);

	        $items .= '<li id="menu-item-search" class="noMobile menu-item menu-item-search-dropdown">'.$getform.'</li>';
	    }
	    return $items;
	}
```
Add this on Quick CSS or custom.css:
```
#top #searchform > * {
opacity: 1 !important;
display: block !important;
}
```
Best regards,
Ismael

Thanks so much Ismael!!

I had one more question question related to this. I wanted to see how it would look with the text “Search” right next to the magnifying glass. Just wanted to give myself another option. What would be the best way to accomplish this?

Best,
John

I can see that “searchform.php” is where the code is stored, but I’m not a pro at editing PHP and continue to get syntax errors when trying to input anything. I believe I just want to add the text before $icon = av_icon_char(‘search’);

Hi!

Thank you for the update.

If you want the search text next to the magnifying glass. Just remove the suggested codes above then add this on Quick CSS:
```
#menu-item-search [data-av_icon]:before {
float: left;
margin-right: 10px;
}

#top .avia_hidden_link_text {
display: block;
float: left;
}
```

The above search bar in header via functions.php doesn’t work at all for me. I am using a child theme though if that’s the problem?

Anyhow, I’ve gone with the search text option (with ‘search’ next to the icon), looks great, although the ‘search’ text isn’t linked like the icon?

Any ideas?

Hey!

Looks like you’re using an old version of the theme. Please update the theme to 3.0.7.

Cheers!

Hello, I would like to do the same thing here, add the word Search by the magnifying glass, which the code above works. But I have Woocommerce installed and it also displays the text “Shopping Cart” under my cart. Any way to keep the words search, but not have the words shopping cart displayed?

Hi,

Never mind, I figured this out using this code,
```
#menu-item-search > a:nth-child(1) > span:nth-child(1) {
display: block;
float: left;
}

.span.avia_hidden_link_text:nth-child(3) {
	display:none;
}

#menu-item-search [data-av_icon]:before {
float: left;
margin-right: 10px;
}
```
If there is a cleaner way to do it please let me know. Otherwise hope this helps someone else!

Thank you,
Chris

Hello,

I’ve just implemented the same fixed search input field using the above code, but i’m experiencing a bug whereby the field now jumps to the left when you hover over it. I think it’s something to do with the JS that expanded the original search field. Has anyone experienced this before?

Regards

Hi!

What happens when you add this in the Quick CSS field?
```
#menu-item-search {
  right: -50px !important;
}
```
Let us know.

Hi Team and @ismael,

is this solution ( https://kriesi.at/support/topic/enfold-removing-the-search-magnifying-glass-and-adding-in-the-search-field/#post-278483 ) still compatible with enfold version 3.4.7?

I have had many clients ask about replacing the magnifying glass in the menu with an actual search box many times, I just wanted to be sure this is the best documented way to still accomplish this before I head off and implement on several live sites.

cheers.

Hi!

@PRuuPH: Yes, you can still use the code.
```
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'avia_append_search_nav', 10, 2 );
function avia_append_search_nav ( $items, $args ) {
	if(avia_get_option('header_searchicon','header_searchicon') != "header_searchicon") return $items;

    if ((is_object($args) && $args->theme_location == 'avia') || (is_string($args) && $args = "fallback_menu"))
    {
        global $avia_config;
        ob_start();
				get_search_form(false);
				$getform = ob_get_clean();
        $items .= '<li id="menu-item-search" class="noMobile menu-item menu-item-search-dropdown">'.$getform.'</li>';
    }
    return $items;
}
```
Adjust the position with this css:
```
#top #menu-item-search #searchform div {
  opacity: 1 !important;
  display: block !important;
  top: 20px;
  margin-left: 20px;
}
```
It will require a few css modifications which depends on the site’s header settings.

Ismael

I’ve made the changes to the function.php and the Quick CSS as stated in the very first reply (Ismael). It worked, however, now the search bar and the search icon are not aligned.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply, did you figure this one out? The search bar and the icon look good on my end. If you still have any issue with the alignment please share a mockup of the same and the browser details so we can further help you :)

Vinay

Hi,

Unfortunately it would require quite some time and customization of the theme to achieve this, so I am sorry to tell you that this is not covered by our support. However if its really important for you to get this done, you can always hire a freelancer to do the job for you :)

However we would still love to help! please post a mockup or a screenshot of the end result you are looking for so we can try our best to help you achieve it. You can upload the mockup to imgur.com and share the link here :)

Best regards,
Vinay

I got the search menu to show, but how do I make it full width of the main menu. I am trying to make a similar feel to the amazon header.

Hey there,

I am following https://kriesi.at/support/topic/enfold-removing-the-search-magnifying-glass-and-adding-in-the-search-field/#post-278483

I only have a problem now where the ajax preview of the search items is on an invisible background. can you let me know how I can specify the background colour? see https://braandcorsetsupplies.com/ and put min 3 charachters into the search on the header and you will see the results are on an invisible background so you can’t see them on top of page content.

I think i have to do something with specifying the background of the [ class=”ajax_search_response” ]

cheers and as always thanks so much for all your help with these projects :)
