Add a search box
You can add a search box to the centre or right-hand content to enable visitors to search your website or a section of it. For example, there is a Search help box at the right-hand side of all pages in SiteBuilder help, which returns results from any page under:
/services/idg/services-support/web/sitebuilder2/manual
Search queries do not return results from the rest of the IDG website or SiteBuilder section. You see matching results as you enter your query 鈥� we refer to this as 鈥榣ive search鈥�.
