In-Line CMS Search

In-Line CMS Searchbar

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.
