What is the Searchanise search bar?
The Searchanise search bar is automatically installed with the app onto your website. Its look & feel and position can be adjusted in the Wix website editor.
After you set up the search bar in the way you like it. You can check how it works on your storefront by typing a search query into it.
Earlier versions of the Searchanise app don’t have a built-in search bar. Instead, the Sticky Widget is used. To see the app’s search bar, upgrade the app to the latest version in the Wix admin panel > Apps > Manage Apps.
What is a Sticky Widget?
The Sticky Widget is used instead of the search bar in the app’s earlier versions.
The Sticky Widget looks like a floating icon that follows customers as they scroll. Clicking it opens a search bar on top of a page.
As soon as you start typing, the Instant Search Widget opens.
