Breakdance sites get a native Elevated Site Search element: add it to any page, header, or template from the element library, and it renders the same instant search box as the shortcode, following the plugin settings. An active license is required for the box to render.

Step 1: Open the Page in Breakdance

Edit the page, header, or template in the Breakdance builder.

Step 2: Add the Elevated Site Search Element

Click Add in the top left, then type elevated in the element search.

Click Elevated Site Search and place it where the search box should render. A common spot is the site header, next to your navigation.

Step 3: Save and Test

Save and view the page. The element renders the search box exactly like the shortcode does.

How the Element Fits Your Design

The element is a wrapper around the same search box: theme, colors, layout, and behavior come from Elevated › Site Search › Settings, so the box looks identical wherever it appears. Use Breakdance’s own spacing and width controls on the element to size and position it inside your layout, and the plugin settings for everything inside the box.

Troubleshooting

The element renders nothing on the frontend. The license is missing or inactive; administrators see a “License is not active” notice in its place. Activate it under Elevated › Site Search › License.

You cannot find the element. Type elevated in the Add panel’s search field. The element only appears while Elevated Site Search is active.
