Adding a search engine.

Topic summary

Goal: add a permanent, always-visible search bar at the top of art pages in a Shopify store using the free Craft theme.

Context: The requester is comfortable adding custom code and is seeking guidance on where in the theme files to place it so the search bar remains fixed/visible at the top.

Latest update: After attempting an approach (likely based on received suggestions), the search bar was added but could not be positioned where desired.

Needs/next steps: Specific instructions on which template/section (e.g., header.liquid, theme.liquid, or a section block) to edit, and guidance on CSS/positioning (e.g., placing within the header section, using sticky/fixed positioning, and ensuring correct theme schema settings). Clarification on whether the search should appear on all pages or only on art-related templates may be required.

Status: Unresolved; further placement and styling guidance needed.

Hi everyone,

I would like to add permanent search bar in my art pages at the top of the page. I want this to be always visible.

I’m ok adding the correct code to the theme. It’s ok if it involves using custom code, I just need a bit of help where to put it. I’m using the Craft free theme.

Thanks!

Thank you but I couldn’t get it to sit where I want it to.
