Search Setup

The basic setup of settings of the Search Inline field includes the Setup and Content field groups.

Search Inline Setup

Setup

Setup includes the following fields:

  • Base Font Size - This is the basis of the font size. Changing this will change the size of the * Submit (the magnifying glass icon), the Input text, and the Clear icon. As an example, I changed the value for this field to 2EM and you'll see everything changed.

  • Width - Obviously dictates how wide the search form will be. You can set it by pixel, percentage, REM and EM.
  • Height - This is where you set how tall the form will be.
  • Max Width - The maximum width of the form. This is useful for responsiveness.
  • Background - There are two color pickers here. First, on the left, is the default color called * Base. This is the default background color. The second, the Interaction color is the background color of the form when the cursor is in it.

NOTE: When I use the term "form" I'm referring to this:

Customize

The Customize pane consists of various features that allow you to take further control over your Element's styling and functionality:

  • ID Sets an HTML ID on the Element.
  • Class Sets an HTML Class on the Element.
  • Element CSS Use this feature for increased stylistic control of your Element, especially over nested markup. Click here for more detailed information on this feature, such as using $el to dynamically target the base tag, et cetera.
  • Hide During Breakpoints Hides the Element at different screen sizes when design alterations are needed. Click here for more information.
  • Conditions Adds / removes Elements from the page when certain criteria are met (e.g. If a featured image is set...). Click here for more information.
  • Custom Attributes Use this option to add custom HTML attributes to the root tag of the Element (e.g. data-info="123"). This can be particularly helpful when integrating with various scripts and libraries.
