Hi All,

I’m grateful to be part of this great community.

The Minimog theme doesn’t have the search bar by default for predictive search. Please, I will be grateful to know how this issue could best be solved since it is obvious that having a product search bar will improve user shopping experience. Thank you very much in advance.

Hi Bundler-Manuel,

Thank you for the suggestion.

I tried applying the steps and discovered that the mobile sticky bars and the search icon were already enabled. I’m thinking if it’s something that has to do with altering the minimog theme code.

Hi @Forensicman :waving_hand: if a theme doesn’t have this has a feature already then it’s an advanced theme customization, or a search app/service.

If you need this customization then contact me for services.
