[Support request] Click on link to bring visitor to the local site search bar

[Siong Boon Lim]

Hi Tom,

Is there a way to do a click link which brings a visitor directly to the search bar on the page?

Thanks.

[Tom]

Like clicking a link that opens the navigation search?

[Siong Boon Lim]

I think should be…
Like a bookmark link.
Click to bring the mouse text cursor (the “caret”) to the search bar (search field) which is at the navigation menu of the current page.

Not really sure what you mean? Basically just a link that can open the navigation search so it’s ready for you to type into?

Ya. Correct.
I see that the magnifying glass icon is a href=”#”.
It is like clicking on the magnifying glass, I am looking for.

Gotcha – not possible right now, but I like the idea. I’ll try to work it in soon 🙂

[Siong Boon Lim]

I see. Thank you.
The reason I like to have it, is to guide the visitor that there is actually a search bar which they can use to search for information within the website. Some may not realise or see the magnifying icon.
Thank you for your reply.

[Tom]

Thanks for the suggestion, I think it’s a good idea and should be do-able 🙂

[Siong Boon Lim]

Thank you very much.
