Blogger Search Box

Have you noticed the search box above? It is not part of Google search box. Rather, it is actually an integral part of the Blogger/Blogspot template. Typing a keyword search inside the dialog box will return search results of contents found within this blogsite.



If you have hidden the navigation bar of your template, it is ideal to include a search box such as found above to help your readers find specific contents within your blogsite. The illustration below shows the location of the default Blogger/Blogspot search box.



To include a Blogger/Blogspot search box in your blogsite, you must first open the Page Elements tab of your template as shown below.



Then add the codes found below to any available location you prefer. However, you first have to change the red-higlighted codes in the shown example to match the specifications of your blogsite. Otherwise, any keyword search on your blogsite would return results found in this site.
