How can I incorporate a permanent search bar on Refresh theme collection pages?

Topic summary

Goal: add a permanent search bar to Collection pages in Shopify’s Refresh theme.

What’s been provided:

  • A workaround to reuse the existing Search section on Collection pages. Steps: edit code (Sections > main-search.liquid) and add a “presets” entry so the section appears in the Theme Editor; then Customize > Collection > Default collection > Add section > Search section. Images were shared to show placement and the resulting UI.

New requests and open items:

  • Positioning: place the search bar above the header and move categories below; remove the “Search” title; adjust colors. Two images show current vs. desired layout. No solution posted yet.
  • A code snippet (Liquid/CSS plus schema settings) was shared by a user, likely to enable filtering/sorting and modify search UI, but it appears partial/unfinished and lacks guidance.
  • Label customization: another user asked how to change the search input’s label/placeholder to a personalized text. No instructions provided yet.

Status: partial solution (section addition) confirmed; styling, placement, and label changes remain unresolved/awaiting responses.
