Hello, is it possible to add somehow visible prominent search box to custom e.g. 404 page? I see there is google search now, but I would like to replace it with internal site search. Is there any reason why offer google box there instead of internal search? I’d just like to hack a box with GO butt…

Is there any simple way to put search text field to some other page than full page search? Thanks in advance. [update]Simplest way I’ve found is to use {{search-text-field}} component in custom handlebars template and then define search action on controller: import DiscourseURL from 'discourse/lib…

[Bild] Overgrow: I see there is google search now, but I would like to replace it with internal site search. Is there any reason why offer google box there instead of internal search? I think this was mainly left over from a time when internal site search was not nearly as good as it is now. …

Exactly… I see the power of search filtering (in:wiki, …) as killer feature in Discourse… I’d absolutely agree with using internal search whenever possible.

After some time I still wonder if internal search (instead of google search) could or should be included in custom 404 - not found - page… What are your opinions..? I like sites that extract sensible text from requested url and prefill search query box with it… Currently this is done in google sear…

I’m seeing this topic now – only because I just bumped into the “Google” search box on the 404 page, which no longer makes sense now (especially for our site which is private behind an SSO provider and not visible to Google). I would vote for moving to the regular internal search.

If your site is login required that search should be disabled, follow up with @techAPJ

Any chance google search could be replaced by internal search? Internal search is very powerful imho and you can loose visitors via google search.

@techAPJ Our Discourse has login_required checked in the settings, with SSO enabled, and yet if I go to a fictitious page to trigger the 404, I get this with Google search intact. We are running 1.8.0.beta12+60 [Bild]

Yes that seems like a bug @techapj can you verify?

I can confirm this. This change was made ~3 years ago.
