Hi, is there any way I can change the search icon in my header to a search bar
Ps. I’m using the taste theme in shopify
Thanks
Hey @Vitameds .
Thanks for reaching out.
I appreciate that you have included which theme you are using as that is very helpful! Looking into the Taste theme, I noticed that changing the search icon is not available using the Theme Editor. In this case, you could make a change to the coding to have the search icon displayed as you would like. Since the Taste theme is designed and supported by Shopify, we can use free design time for Shopify themes to have our internal team make the changes on your behalf.
If you are interested in using the design time, you will need to login to your store using our Contact Us page. This will allow us to securely verify you as the store owner before speaking directly with a Support Advisor about the changes you would like to see. With that being said, you will need to know which image you would like to change the search icon into.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Hi,
To display the search bar in header (for Taste Theme), please make a backup of your header.liquid before making any changes and follow the steps below.
-
Go to Online Store > Actions > Edit code > Sections > header.liquid
-
Replace the header.liquid with the code below.
{%- if settings.predictive_search_enabled -%}
{%- endif -%}
{%- if section.settings.menu_type_desktop == 'mega' -%}
{%- endif -%}
{%- style -%}
.section-header {
margin-bottom: {{ section.settings.margin_bottom | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
}
@media screen and (min-width: 750px) {
.section-header {
margin-bottom: {{ section.settings.margin_bottom }}px;
}
}
{%- endstyle -%}

Don’t forget to backup the original file before editing.
Hope it helps.

Hi @Vitameds ,
Yes, you can change the icon by modifying the code in header.liquid file.
Thankyou, can you assist us with this?

Hey brother is it possible to do same (change search icon to search bar which is always visible) in modular theme.
P.S. I am using modular theme version 2.0.2.
