Framer Update: Site Search
Adding search to your Framer site is now as simple as dragging in a component. This tutorial walks through implementing blazing-fast site search that instantly searches text across your entire website, whether it comes from body copy, headings, page titles, or descriptions.
Hunter demonstrates the complete process using Benjamin's blog template. You'll see how to add the Search component from the Insert Panel's interactive section, customize its appearance to match your design, and control exactly which parts of your site get searched. The scope control lets you limit search to specific sections or CMS collections, perfect for creating focused search experiences.
Customization options include everything from colors and fonts to animations and layout variations. You can display search results as a modal, sidebar, or fixed top bar. The tutorial also covers how to improve search result quality by optimizing page titles and descriptions, plus adding subtle animation touches like height transitions when results change.
