Simple Theme: How to add Search bar on Collections page

Topic summary

Goal: add a search bar on each collection page that limits results to that collection (instead of site-wide search).

Proposed approaches:

  • Custom coding in the Simple theme (editing Liquid templates). A developer offered to help; the original poster asked to continue via direct message.
  • Use a third‑party app (Ultimate Search & Filter: https://apps.shopify.com/ultimate-search-and-filter-1) that automatically adds a collection-page search box with instant search popups and recommendations from product Title, Tags, Options, and Metafields, without touching Liquid.

Notes:

  • “Liquid” is Shopify’s theme templating language.
  • A screenshot was shared for context but isn’t essential to the solution.

Status/outcome:

  • No step-by-step solution or code was posted.
  • Another participant also requested help implementing collection-specific search.
  • Discussion remains open; practical next steps are to proceed with custom development or install/configure the suggested app.
