auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Adds a search bar to the website header so visitors can search your site content directly from the top navigation, with a toggle button that expands or collapses the search field.

This module puts a search box in the header of your website, so visitors can look for content without scrolling to the bottom of the page.

  • A search icon button appears in the top navigation bar. Clicking it opens a search field; clicking again closes it.
  • On smaller screens (phones and tablets), the search field is hidden and the button submits the typed search directly, taking the visitor to the results page.
  • The search uses the standard website search page (/website/search) and searches across all content types.
  • The search bar is added to many of the standard website header layouts, including the hamburger, vertical, sidebar, slogan, boxed, centered logo, image and full hamburger headers. Some header layouts (contact and magazine) are left out.

The module only changes website templates and front-end behaviour; it does not add any new database models, menus or back-office screens. No business rules, automatic checks or emails are involved.
