Install this module with composer

Dev/build

A few indexes need to be added to the database. This is done by running a dev/build.

Add the search form

To add the search form, add $SearchForm anywhere in your template.

For example in Header.ss

...
<div class="search-form">
    $SearchForm
</div>
...

Override the template (optional)

Lastly you can override the template for the result page if needed.

Copy

vendor/brandcom/silverstripe-elemental-site-search-fluent/templates/Layout/Page_results.ss

to your template folder, for example:

app/templates/Layout/Page_results.ss

and modify according to your needs.

Clear caches

Then finally add ?flush=1 to the URL and you should see the new template.
