Use a search element

A search element is used to display the results of a search query. A search element cannot be used in isolation, but must be used together with an HTML element that is used to define the search query form.

To create a search form :

1. create a search query using an HTML element

2. create a search results view using a search component

You reference both the HTML element and search component in a single presentation template. The search component is only rendered after a search query is executed by a user.
