HTML <search> Tag

The <search> tag is used to create a search box on a webpage. It allows users to enter a query and search for specific content within the website.

How to Use the <search> Tag

To use the <search> tag, simply include it in your HTML code with an associated form element. Here is an example:

<search>
   <input type="text" name="search_query">
</search>

In this example, the <search> tag contains an input field where users can enter their search query. When the form is submitted, the query will be sent to the server for processing.

Attributes of the <search> Tag

Attribute	Description
autocomplete	Determines whether the browser should automatically complete the input value
placeholder	Displays a hint to the user about what they should enter in the search box
required	Specifies that the user must fill in the search box before submitting the form

Here is an example of the <search> tag with attributes:

<search autocomplete="on" placeholder="Search..." required>
   <input type="text" name="search_query">
</search>

In this example, the search box will have autocomplete enabled, display the word "Search..." as a placeholder, and require the user to fill in the search box before submitting the form.
