Search Form
Search Form lets visitors search the site and offers configurable autocomplete results. It includes separate styling for the form, input, toggle, results, and modal presentation.

- Configure Autocomplete, then style Design > Form, Input, Toggle, Results, and Modal.
- Save your changes.

This element has no children; use its own controls.
Controls
Responsive varies by breakpoint; Hover has a hover value; Shared applies across both. Linked controls have their own reference. In conditions, = means “is” and ≠ means “is not.”

Troubleshooting
The search includes unwanted content types
Review Limit To Post Type and test against known content in each type.
Autocomplete does not show the expected item
Check Autocomplete settings, the search term, and whether the item is published and within the selected post type.
