01
Search while typing
The Search Bar Script listens to configured search inputs and can show a live dropdown when the query reaches the minimum character threshold.
Feature: live search
As-you-type website search that respects your content and limits.

02
Typo-tolerant retrieval
FlowSearch can match common spelling mistakes and partial terms so visitors are not forced to know your exact page titles.
03
Result templates
Use your own result markup with title, snippet, URL, and optional metadata attributes so the dropdown and results page fit your design.
Controls
Plan-aware settings keep live search practical
Debounce and character thresholds
Use minimum-character and live-search settings to avoid sending noisy one-letter searches while visitors are still typing.
Rate and concurrency limits
Plans include per-minute and concurrent request limits, so high-volume live search should use sensible result counts and dropdown behavior.
Analytics for committed searches
Track meaningful searches and clicks so analytics stay focused on useful visitor intent rather than every keystroke.
FAQ
Questions, answered plainly.
Where does the live search script go?
The Search Bar Script, widget.js, should go in the site-wide head or custom-code area so search forms can work across pages.
Can live search point to a custom results page?
Yes. Set data-results-page to your chosen results URL, such as /search-results, and ensure that page includes the Results Page Script.
