Search input

A search input is a type of input field that can be user to search, find, or filter. See filter guidelines for more information on using search input as a filter.

Examples

Basic

Match with result count

Match with navigable options

With submit button

Focus search input using ref

With expandable button

Advanced

The search input component can be used to dynamically build a one to one attribute-value advanced search. Using the attributes prop alongside the advancedSearchDelimiter will expose this functionality, as demonstrated in the following example. The search input component can also be used as a composable component and paired with a Popper or other elements to build a completely custom advanced search form. This feature is demonstrated in the search input's react demos.

The values used in the attribute-value form fields may contain spaces. The values containing spaces should be wrapped with quotes inside the summary search string in the input field. If the latter is autogenerated from the individual fields the quotes will be autoplaced.

Use equal sign as search attribute delimiter

Add custom footer element after the attributes in the menu
