The Searchanise search bar and Sticky Widget in Wix stores

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 Editor. 

Depending on the search bar type selected in the Wix Editor, the search dropdown appears differently:

• Icon — clicking the icon opens a search modal in the center of the page, with the dropdown displayed underneath the input field.
  

  

• Input — a small dropdown with suggestions and results appears right below the search bar.
  

  

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.

What is a Sticky Widget?

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.
