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:
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
_13<fieldset class="busca">_13 <legend>Buscar no site</legend>_13 <label>Buscar</label>_13 <select id="ftDept4aceafb578de4c7caf31e06bcc8d45b9">_13 <option value="">Todo o site</option>_13 <option value="1000000">Integracao</option>_13 <option value="1">Eletrodomésticos</option>_13 <option value="3">Moda</option>_13 </select>_13 <input type="hidden" id=ftIdx4aceafb578de4c7caf31e06bcc8d45b9 value="" />_13 <input id="ftBox4aceafb578de4c7caf31e06bcc8d45b9" class="fulltext-search-box" type="text" size="20" accesskey="b" />_13 <input id="ftBtn4aceafb578de4c7caf31e06bcc8d45b9" type="button" value="Buscar" class="btn-buscar" />_13</fieldset>
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:
_23<ul class="ui-autocomplete ui-menu ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all" role="listbox" aria-activedescendant="ui-active-menuitem" style="z-index: 10; top: -3334px; left: 667.5px; display: none; position: relative; width: 507px;">_23 <li class="ui-menu-item" role="menuitem"><a class="ui-corner-all" tabindex="-1">adidas em Modelos</a></li>_23 <li class="ui-menu-item" role="menuitem"><a class="ui-corner-all" tabindex="-1">adidas em Tênis</a></li>_23 <li class="ui-menu-item" role="menuitem"><a class="ui-corner-all" tabindex="-1">adidas em Lançamentos</a></li>_23 <li class="ui-menu-item" role="menuitem"><a class="ui-corner-all" tabindex="-1">adidas em Masculino</a></li>_23 <li class="ui-menu-item" role="menuitem">_23 <a class="ui-corner-all" tabindex="-1">_23 <img src="http://www.authenticfeet.com.br/arquivos/ids/188460-25-25/Mini-Bola-Brazuca-WC-14-Glider.jpg" width="25" height="25" alt="Mini-Bola-Brazuca-WC-14-Glider"> minibola adidas brazuca glider - copa do mundo_23 </a>_23 </li>_23 <li class="ui-menu-item" role="menuitem">_23 <a class="ui-corner-all" tabindex="-1">_23 <img src="http://www.authenticfeet.com.br/arquivos/ids/189014-25-25/Tenis-adidas-Springblade-Feminino.jpg" width="25" height="25" alt="Tenis-adidas-Springblade-Feminino">_23 tênis adidas springblade feminino_23 </a>_23 </li>_23 <li class="ui-menu-item" role="menuitem">_23 <a class="ui-corner-all" tabindex="-1">_23 <img src="http://www.authenticfeet.com.br/arquivos/ids/188855-25-25/Tenis-adidas-Dynamic-Fusion-50-Feminino.jpg" width="25" height="25" alt="Tenis-adidas-Dynamic-Fusion-50-Feminino">_23 tênis adidas dynamic fusion 50 feminino_23 </a>_23 </li>_23</ul>
