search feature for web designer.
Have a look at https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...earch-function
I get the feeling they are not likely to add this feature
Xara's philosophy seems to me to be if someone else has a good solution, search, forms, etc., then let users add this with a placeholder.
I agree. There are so many functions/solutions that already exist, why reinvent the wheel?

Xara-designed websites are simply a static electronic book / booklet / page with flaps to hide and reveal stuff. I'll call these buckets.
To offer dynamic (changing) content, you have to serve it up into our static Xara buckets through the end-user asking for stuff and this poking about leads to the bucket being filled from the server.
This requires some handshake and willingness at the server to help out.
Xara-designed websites do not rely on there being a server filling up the buckets.
That is why a Xara-designed website can be run from a local filestore / CD / memory stick / The Cloud with nothing other that a web server.
To pretend that you have bucket-filling content, Xara allows linking into others' bucket fillers, called Widgets.
There rely on other web addresses to provide the content; "Go run next door with a cup and borrow some sugar."
Eventually your relentless borrowing loses the goodwill of your neighbour and the community in general (SEO plug here).
Now if Xara went that extra inch and provided the tools to set up PHP code and access to a MySQL (or even flat file) database then with a well-defined API, we could leverage in some really useful content for CMS control and searching.
You can simulate searching locally with a bit of effort using JavaScript and a simple flat file of form: <Keyword><Website Page location>.
You can handcraft this yourself but Xara could deliver if all as part of the Export function for exceedingly very little effort.
Go figure,

I agree, but most have their advertising, like google.

Acorn - You created a search function some time ago that I have been using at www.placitasartists.com that works very well.
I can't find it though. Maybe you sent it to me instead of posting the code here?

It is possible to use DuckDuckGo instead of Google.

Today we can buy for little money any modern customizable professional template for all CMS(WP, Joomla, Drupal etc...) and enjoy all the pleasures of modern design and server technologies.
I honestly do not understand why we need to ride a bike with square wheels.
