  1. How To Get A Perfect Search Box For Your Website Creating a perfect company website becomes a daunting job as most business owners have no or least knowledge in determining what are the factors that make an ideal website. The best solution would be to approach an expert who has the knowledge and capability to understand your brand’s mission and then craft a beautiful website for the same. There are multiple elements that are required to keep in mind while designing and developing a website. While some elements get the high priority, some are ignored amongst which the Search box in one. One may say that the search box is the least important element as far as the design is concerned. But, No! This is absolutely wrong. Especially, if the website is content-heavy, extra attention should be given to the creation of search box because this is the only place where users would look up to reach their desired destination hassle-freely. Kindly note down the following practices that you can utilize to get a faultless search box for your website. Use the icon of magnifying-glass – Never forget to put a large magnifying glass icon right beside your search bar as visual elements catch eyes faster than text. Not only the icon will make your page look elegant in terms of design but users will be able to locate the box at a single glance. The Display should be prominent – Some designers make the mistake of maintaining the color and tone of the search box as per the website theme. But this should be avoided completely. No matter whatever be the website design keep the search box isolated and prominent in pure white so as to make it look user-friendly. Also, as per analysis, most users expect to find a search box on the upper-right corner of a webpage. Hence, consider this factor positively so that your search box is clearly visible to the viewers. Keep a separate search button – At most times, we have noticed that the magnifying glass icon button is placed at the right corner of the single search bar. To maintain a professional look-and-feel of the website it is suggested to maintain a separate submit button with a vibrant colored magnifying glass icon like blue. Keep the search box on all the pages – Yes, you heard that right! If you do not want your audience to browse back to your homepage again and again to search a particular subject, then make sure your designer maintains a consistent search box on all the inner tabs as well. Appropriate Field Size with auto-suggestion options – The input field should be able to accommodate at least 27 characters because many users come with a long query and if the entire text is not visible in the field it creates inconvenience on the visitor’s part. Implementing the mechanism of auto suggestions so that it could predict the queries instantly sends a positive impression on the user’s mind.
