The Shopify search bar in Header is one of the most important features. This allows you to use the snippet to include a search bar anywhere in your theme.
Without a search bar, any visitor who could have been a potential customer will be calculated in the bounce rate users. Well, if there is a proper search bar for your listed products to be searched, instead of simple horizontal or vertical categories, a header search bar looks promising.
Let’s look at the steps to create the shopify search bar.
- Open Shopify admin and go to the ‘Themes’ page in the panel, edit as HTML.
- Easily copy the code of the HTML and paste to the template theme.liquid

- Always remember to Ctrl+S to save the created theme or changes that you have added in the newly created HTML code. You can also see on the screenshot, there is a search code that goes to the Shopify Store header to create search bar in Header.
- It’s time to go to the front end of the store to check whether the search box is available or not. Shopify has the search bar on the top!
