Search bar visible on header

Store Design

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner updated their theme to the latest version and lost the visible search bar in the header—it now displays only a magnifying glass icon instead of the full search field.

Current Status:

  • The issue requires customization using Liquid and JavaScript coding to restore the visible search bar
  • A developer (codexecom) has offered to help and requested collaborator access to the store
  • The store owner is being guided through the process of generating and sharing a collaborator request code from Shopify admin settings

Next Steps:

  • Store owner needs to navigate to Shopify admin → Settings → Users and permissions to obtain the collaborator code
  • Once shared, the developer will send a collaborator request to implement the fix

The discussion remains ongoing as they work through the access setup process.

Thanks, @vibehome

I can do it. This can be done using Liquid and JavaScript coding. For this, I will need access to your store.
