Site search is one of the most valuable components on your website. Site search helps visitors find content or products on your website. A box – often at the top or bottom of pages – allows visitors to easily look for information or specific products on your website or online store quickly.

Using the search box, visitors can enter a word or phrase to search your entire site, with immediate results that match your global settings. If the search finds no match, a simple message lets visitors know that no results were found so they can try another query.

Weebly's site search is smart and reads multiple elements of your website content. The search bar uses text in paragraphs, titles and eCommerce elements, page names, descriptions, keywords, photo captions and alt tags to determine which results should be displayed. So make sure you label, title and describe elements throughout your site content to maximize the efficiency of search results.
