Empire Theme - Moving search bar to utility bar

Store Design

Topic summary

A user is customizing the Empire theme for a Shopify store that hasn’t launched yet. They previously removed the default search bar and now want to relocate a search feature to the utility bar, including both a search line and icon.

Requested assistance:

  • Moving search functionality to the utility bar
  • Adding a search icon alongside the search line

Responses received:

  • Multiple experts requested the store URL and password to provide specific help

Hi there,

I am revamping this website that hasn’t gone live yet. I coded off the search bar for the empire theme, but now I want to move a search line to the utility bar.

I want a line that has a search line with a search icon. For example, where it says search, that’s where I want the line and icon.

Please help! Thanks.

Hi @ECurrentHome10
In this case I think to make that function, you can contact with theme supporter, maybe they can help you add some custom code. Or you need to hire an expert, they will help you make the function base you your requriement.
