search

The search template renders the search page, which displays the results of a storefront search.

Location

The search template is located in the templates directory of the theme:

└── theme
    ├── layout
    ├── templates
    |   ...
    |   ├── search.liquid
    |     ...
    ...

Content

You should include the following in your section inside of the template:

• The search object
• The search form
• The search results

The search object

You can access the Liquid search object to display the search details.

The search form

To land on the search page, customers need to perform a search through a search form. You can include a search form in your theme with a <form> element that has an attribute of action="{{ routes.search_url }}". Inside the form, you need an input with the following attributes:

• type="text"
• name="q"

You should also set the value of the input to reflect the value of the terms attribute of the search object so that the customer’s search terms are preserved:

<form action="{{ routes.search_url }}" method="get">
  <input type="text" name="q" value="{{ search.terms | escape }}" maxlength="1024">
  <button type="submit">Search</button>
</form>

The search results

You can display the search results by looping through the values of the results attribute of the search object:

{% paginate search.results.products by 20 %}
  {% for item in search.results.products limit: 20 %}
    <!-- product info -->
  {% endfor %}
{% endpaginate %}
