Search field
The bigger your website the harder it is for visitors to find the information they are looking for, no matter how clear and logical your navigation system is.

The solution to this is to let visitors search on your site. The search object does just that.
The display mode (yellow) lets you choose if you want a search field (box) and the button.

The Graphic repeat (green) lets you choose how the search field and button will lay out. The graphic section also lets you set the font format for the field, i.e. what font the vistor will type in.

The search field label (blue) continues to format the field, selecting text colour, borders, background colour etc. The label itself is for text you want to appear in the search box - I usually leave this blank, but you can use it for instructions etc.

The button label (purple) lets you format the search button, and the Icon (orange) will put a little graphic search symbol on the search.
Note - if you add a search box, the program will automatically create a search page for you. You will find it at the bottom of the Map. It takes its look and feel from the template, using the header and footer, and the text styles.

Note 2 - Your search will only work if the site is live on the internet. (so it won't actually work for school projects but still put it in if you think it would be a useful feature.)
