ok... but I'm trying to understand how it works...
when I'm pressing ton the magnifier on my Navbar and searching it's actually goest to the page search.html and what is it doing there? cause for example if I'm trying to search for "about" it gives me a 404 page and the url string I'm getting is:
http://localhost:8888/ogae-laravel/public/search.html?q=about
but since I'm using a Laravel project and all my links are directed on my project do I need to update all the links in the index.html file as well?
what is going on the background?
thanks,
Hello,
You will need to Setup Google Custom Search for your Website which indexes the Pages of your Website.
Then you will have to place the codes in the search.html File as mentioned in the Documentation > Widgets > Subscriptions Section.
The results are fetched from Google Custom Search. As Google takes some time to Index your Website, the results might not be available immediately.
Any Custom Functionality should be coded manually by yourself or with the help of a Freelancer.

so although search.html is not really a page shown to users, it should be one that exists behind the scenes?
Hello,
The search.html Template is Public Page. This is where the Google Custom Search codes are embedded to display the results.
