search_form

Renders a form with a text input as a search form. The first argument must be the query flag that is used to send the search query with as URL parameter.

Also accepts the following arguments:

• url: The URL to show the search results on (Optional, default: current url)
• form_class: The html class for the search form tag. (Optional)
• Every other key-value argument will be used as html tags for the input.

The following generates a GET request for the search page '/search'.

When submitted, the search form makes a GET request to the following url: '/search?q=<search query>'

Input:
{% search_form "q", url: "/search" %}

Output:

<form action="/search" class="">
  <input type="text" name="q" value="">
</form>

💡 You can also easily create your own form, as long as the page your action points to has a search_results tag and uses the query object parameter to populate the search string.
