Question
- I want to add a search bar on my site
- Can I add a search bar to all my site pages?
- Can students search my site?
- Can my students search for specific course materials or topics?
Solution
Currently, a keyword search is not available for site pages. We do however have a search bar on the "All Courses" page and the "Student Dashboard" which allows users to search for matches to their query for the Course Name and Course Instructor. Full details here: How can students search for courses on my site?
If you want students to be able to search for keywords from courses, especially course content on your site, this typically would be achieved through custom code utilizing the available Search bar. this would mean that the keywords would be restricted to the course and instructor names.
Using our Thinkific Liquid Variables or our API, a skilled developer might be able to extend or improve on this current functionality of the search bar.
We do not provide support for code customizations, however, we have some wonderful freelance web developers on our Thinkific Experts page who you can reach out to. There's also the Thinkific Store on Fiverr, for smaller, quicker jobs.
You can see more details on editing theme code here: Custom Themes (For Developers).
