Adding a Search Bar to Your CMS Max Website
Does CMS Max include a search bar by default?
No, by default we do not include a search page or search bar on new CMS Max websites. This gives you the flexibility to add search functionality only where you need it, keeping your site clean and focused on your specific requirements.
How do I add search to my blog?
Adding search to your blog is simple! Both the blog page and the blog widget include an easy toggle option that allows you to show or hide a blog search feature. Simply:
- Navigate to your blog page settings or blog widget settings
- Look for the "Show Search" toggle option
- Enable the toggle to display a search bar for your blog content

Can I add a general site-wide search?

Where can I find the search page after installing ecommerce?
Your search page will be automatically available at
