Search Control – fulltextSearchBox

VTEX has two search options - VTEX search and VTEX Intelligent Search. This article refers to the VTEX search. To learn more about the VTEX Intelligent Search application, see this track. The <vtex.cmc:fullTextSearchBox /> control is responsible for generating the search box. Besides the search filed, the control renders a combo for restricting a search in one department. Below we have an example of the control with no application of CSS:

{"base64":"  ","img":{"width":341,"height":105,"type":"png","mime":"image/png","wUnits":"px","hUnits":"px","length":4646,"url":"https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/vtexdocs/dev-portal-content@main/docs/guides/Search/controle-busca-cru.png"}}

Search is a functionality that must be available on all the pages of a store. That is why it is suggested inserting the control inside a subtemplate. The search control is used within the subtemplate of the store header.

HTML rendered by the control

The autocomplete functionality is already provided for in this control, and it is only necessary to customize its CSS. Autocomplete is activated as soon as a client inputs three characters in the search field. Below is the html generated by the autocomplete:
