Question
- Can I add a search bar on my site for students to search through information based on keywords?
- Can my students search for specific course materials or topics?
Solution
At this time there currently isn't a keyword search that can be added to a Thinkific site for students to search for information site wide. There is a search bar on the 'All Courses' page and 'Student Dashboard' page, which allows students to search for matches to their query based on the Course Name or Course Instructors. You can find more information in How can students search for courses on my site?
If you are looking for extended search capabilities, this may be possible through the use of custom code using our Thinkific Liquid Variables or our API.
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 if you need! 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).
