Hey there, fellow Wix enthusiasts! In this tutorial, join me as we dive into the world of Velo (previously known as Wix Code) and learn how to create an impressive search bar for your Wix Data Collections. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced Wix user, this step-by-step guide will help you master the art of filtering data with ease.


In this video, I'll be focusing on two powerful approaches to implementing a search feature: searching with a button and searching on input. We'll explore both methods to give you a comprehensive understanding of how to best incorporate a search functionality into your Wix website.


First, we'll start by harnessing the power of Wix Data Query and utilizing the "or" method. I'll walk you through the code and explain the logic behind constructing dynamic queries that match multiple search parameters. This will allow your users to find the exact information they need in a breeze.


Next, we'll delve into the first approach: implementing a search button. We'll create a visually appealing search bar that lets users input their search terms and click a button to trigger the search. By following along with the code snippets I provide, you'll learn how to capture user input, construct the query, and display the search results dynamically on your Wix page.


But we won't stop there! In the second approach, we'll take things up a notch and enable real-time searching with an input field. You'll discover how to make your search bar instantly respond to each keystroke, providing a seamless and responsive experience for your website visitors. With this technique, users can see the results update dynamically as they type, making the search process even more efficient.


Throughout the tutorial, I'll explain essential concepts, provide helpful tips, and troubleshoot common issues you may encounter. By the end of this video, you'll have the confidence to create a fully functional search bar for your Wix Data Collections, tailored to your website's unique needs.


So, if you're ready to take your Wix website to the next level and enhance the user experience with a powerful search feature, hit that play button and let's get started!
