Wix Search Bar
Has anyone else noticed that Wix recently changed the search bar behavior?
In the last few days, my website’s search bar stopped working like a normal search bar. Now, when customers click on it, instead of typing directly into the bar, a big pop-up opens where they have to search from there.
Honestly, it makes no sense to me. The whole point of a search bar is speed and simplicity. This pop-up completely breaks the flow, feels unnecessary, and honestly looks pretty ugly from a UX/design perspective.
The problem is that I’m not a developer, and I don’t have the programming skills to build my own custom search bar from scratch. I already tried finding workarounds and experimenting with custom code, but I just can’t get it working properly.
Is anyone else frustrated by this update? And does anyone know any way to disable the pop-up or restore the old search bar behavior somehow?
Any help would be massively appreciated.
