CSS-only version

Markup structure

The basic CSS-only SearchInput component is a CSS-only TextInput with type="search" and a start icon, wrapped in a <div> with the CSS class .cdx-search-input. The CSS-only search icon is set up for you, so you do not need to include it in your Less code.

With button

To add a button to the CSS-only SearchInput, do the following:

  • Add the .cdx-search-input--has-end-button class to the root element
  • Wrap the CSS-only TextInput component in a div with the class .cdx-search-input__input-wrapper
  • Add a CSS-only button with the classes .cdx-button and .cdx-search-input__end-button
