What is the search bar?
The search bar is a powerful tool which provides all of the functionality of a Storefront search. It allows customers to search across a store's products, blog posts and pages.
How to set up search suggestions
As the customer types in their search term into the search bar, Search suggestions will dynamically appear. This helps customers refine their search without being redirected to a search results page and lets them quickly explore the store by seeing top results for suggested search terms, products, collections, and more.

- Open the Theme editor and click on Theme Settings > Search.
- In the Search settings, Enable quick header search can be selected. If this is not selected, clicking the search icon in the header will take you directly to the search page.
- Also in the Search settings, Show search suggestions can be selected. The suggestions will show underneath the search bar.

- In the Header settings, go to Search and select Enable search. Click Save.
