How Do I Add a Search Bar in Figma?

Adding a search bar in Figma is an excellent way to make your design more interactive and engaging. It can be used to quickly search for elements, symbols, or any other design element.

Plus, it’s easy to customize and style the search bar to fit the look and feel of your project.

To add a search bar in Figma you will need to start by creating a new frame or using an existing one. Then, select the Rectangle Tool and draw a rectangle that will be used as the search bar.

To style it, you can use the fill options (fill color, gradient color) and stroke options (border width, border type, border color). You can also adjust the corner radius of each corner of the rectangle to give it a rounded look.

Once you have styled your search bar you will need to add two text boxes which are going to be used for user input. The first text box should be set up as an input field with placeholder text such as “Search” written inside of it. The second text box should be set up as an output field with a default value of “No results found” written inside of it which will update when the user types something into the first text box.

Adding Interactivity

The next step is adding interactivity so that when something is typed into the first text box and submitted (using either Enter key or clicking on Submit button) then it searches for what was typed in inside of the design file (elements, symbols etc.). This can be done by using Figma’s Auto Layout feature which allows us to create rules for how our components should behave when certain conditions are met.

Styling Search Bar

The last step is styling our search bar with colors, fonts and other styling elements that match with our project’s look & feel. This can be done by selecting the Rectangle Tool once again and applying different styles such as shadows, gradients or borders.

Conclusion

Adding a search bar in Figma is relatively straightforward process that requires creating a frame with a rectangular shape, adding two text boxes for user input/output and setting up Auto Layout rules so that user’s input can interact with other components within our design file. Finally we can also style our search bar using different colors, fonts or shadows.
