Add a search box above the events, so visitors can find an event by typing a word.<\/p>\n\n

  1. Open Content > Filter Events<\/strong> and turn on Keyword Search<\/strong>.\n
    \"Eventful<\/a>
    Keyword Search with the search box shown.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/li>
  2. Turn on Show Search in Live Filters<\/strong>. A search box appears above the events.<\/li>
  3. Leave Type Keyword<\/strong> empty, so the widget starts with all events.<\/li>
  4. Type a Label<\/strong> for the box, for example “Search events”, and a Placeholder<\/strong>, for example “Try summit or workshop”. The default placeholder is “Search…”.<\/li>
  5. Set the Max Width<\/strong> of the box (per device) and its Alignment<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n

    Results update as visitors type, without a page reload. The search looks in the event title and description.<\/p>\n\n

    Search and filters together<\/h2>\n\n

    Add filters under Advanced Filtering<\/strong> as well, and visitors can type a word and narrow by category, venue or month at the same time. To keep the bar tidy, put the filters behind a button: see Show\/Hide Filter and Reset Buttons<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

    A fixed keyword instead<\/h2>\n\n

    With Keyword Search on and Show Search in Live Filters off, the widget shows only events that match Type Keyword<\/strong>, with no search box. See Dates, Keyword and Hidden Events<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
