You know how Google Sites puts that tiny little search icon up in the top corner?

Now be honest, when was the last time you landed on a site, and immediately clicked that search icon - way up there?Exactly.But what if your site has dozens (or even hundreds) of pages?You want visitors to search your site.You want them to find what they need without digging thru menus.That’s why, on one of my own sites with over 100 pages, I added a full-width search bar right on the homepage.Front and center. Bold. Inviting.And you know what?People actually use it.It just makes sense.So I thought: why not make this easier for everyone?With SitesBuddy’s Search Box widget for GoogleSites, you can now drop in a fully styled, responsive search bar into your google sites.And when you embed it into your site?It just fits. No weird scrollbars in embedded frame.Just a clean search bar that belongs.Because small changes in layout = big wins in user experience.

EXAMPLE:

You can:✨ Set your own colors (font, background, border)
✨ Round the corners
✨ Add placeholder message
✨ Match it to your design vibe
