[Support request] Search form within a page possible?

[Roman]

Hello Tom,

I have a crazy idea. Is it possible to place a search form into a page or a section like this?

I would like to place the search more prominent.

Hi Roman,

You could build a shortcode which you can use like this:

add_shortcode( 'search', 'tu_search_shortcode' );
function tu_search_shortcode() {
	ob_start();
	get_search_form();
	$ret = ob_get_contents();
	ob_end_clean();
	return $ret;
}

Then just use [search] in your content.

Hello Tom. Revisiting this, but tell me if I should start a new topic. Is there a way to constrain this search to the page that it’s on? For example, there are a lot of things on a site that I’m building related to the same words, but I only want to see results on the one page where I put the search bar. Possible?

I don’t think it’s possible to modify WordPress get_search_form(); this way.

Might be worth asking on a general forum like this and see if anyone has a clever solution:
