Hello friends,

I have created a banner that will go in the “After Header” section of our discourse page here at the company. This banner functions as kind of a landing page / table of contents for the website. However, because we have so many categories it would be great to add a search bar front and center to this section. Any ideas how would I go about doing that? I looked for any components or plug ins, but can’t find anything.

\*On a side note, I am using bootstrap CDN as well and they have some pretty slick search bar templates I can insert, just need to know if it is doable to add a search bar in the “After Header” section and make it work.

You might be able to piece this together by looking at [Header search plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/header-search-plugin/36435) and one of these theme components:
