The In-Line CMS Searchbar is a drop-in Framer component that lets users instantly filter CMS content directly on the page. Instead of sending visitors to a separate search page or modal, this component keeps search inline, fast, and intuitive—perfect for CMS grids and directories.
As users type, CMS items update in real time, making it easy to find content without scrolling or reloading the page.

Any CMS list where quick discovery matters
Add CMSInlineSearch to the same section/frame as your CMS collection.
Important:The search bar must live in the same parent container as the CMS list it filters.
Inside your layout:
Page heading (optional)
CMSInlineSearch
CMS collection (grid or list)
This ensures the search feels native and filters correctly.
Set the search bar width to Fill
Set the CMS collection width to Fill
Keep both inside the same container to maintain alignment
Works best in a vertical Stack or column layout
Fully responsive across Desktop, Tablet, and Phone
Scales naturally with your CMS layout
Adjust spacing per breakpoint if needed
Must be used with a Framer CMS collection
The search will only filter CMS items within the same parent frame
Designed for inline filtering—not full-page search results
Inline search keeps users focused and reduces friction. Instead of navigating away or scanning long lists, visitors can type and instantly see relevant results—cleaner UX, faster discovery, better engagement.
