    Posted: Aug 24 2023 at 12:11am
So I am wondering if there is an easy way to add a site search function, I am using Sensode White template however it doesn't have to specifically be added directly into this but could also be a separate page if needed.

My site is for folk song lyrics and music chords and I am planning to have pages of artists and within those artist pages songs that can then be clicked on to open the lyrics and chords pages,  the search option would just need to return a list of any pages that have a matching name (name of htm) file for example is this possible or something similar.

Was hoping to find an Element to add for this but sadly nothing.  And also could not find any similar topics using the forum search tool ironically :D

Any advice/help appreciated.

Once I added google programmable search engine to this site:  https://www.chpsupply.com/

The site owner never came back to me for updates so the search engine was never updated with https but still produce good search results for free


This solution is using google search engine

ok thanks, I might try those then..  I gave this a try after doing some googling myself https://pagedart.com/blog/how-to-add-a-search-bar-in-html/


However I am having some odd results probably due to lack of experience

This works fine and will give you results from your web site first then add to it result from other sites


Your site must be fully indexed by google first https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing

Thanks I have also found this https://www.freefind.com/

simple sign-up and after you sign up you can get there spider to index your site and then apply the html code for your bar into OE using html code block and its working pretty well, of course free version has some limitations but for now works well for what I need.
