Replace default search

Hmm, not too sure about this one.

The search in the navigation requires specific markup so the styling all works as it should - dropping in a third party search box would most likely require customization to make all of the markup work the same, and even then it's not guaranteed it would work.

Here's how to remove the default search, and add your own: http://generatepress.com/forums/topic/change-search-parameters-in-navigation-menu/#post-51654

since i don't want a woocommerce search, would i remove the woocommerce stuff and do something like:

if ( ! function_exists( 'generate_remove_default_navigation_search' ) ) :
add_action( 'after_setup_theme','generate_remove_default_navigation_search' );
function generate_remove_default_navigation_search()
{
remove_action( 'generate_inside_navigation','generate_navigation_search');
}
endif;

<form role="search" .......
</form>

i'm also not quite sure how to integrate that into the site...do i replace the default search.php with that? or do i remove search.php and searchform.php entirely, and stick this in the header?

never mind, i was able to figure it out. i added that to my custom functions.php file and edited the form action accordingly. thank you!

Awesome, glad you figured it out :)

Sorry to ask such a dumb question but how do you start a new topic? As you guessed, I'm a newbie here.

Hi Pat,

At the bottom of each forum, you'll see a place to create a topic.

For example, take a look at the bottom of this page: http://generatepress.com/forums/forum/general-support/
