If you want to search a WordPress website, but there is no search field available, there are mainly 3 options you have

I. Use Google

• You can use Google to search for content within a website by using the “site:” operator followed by the domain name of the website you want to search.
• For example, to search for “WordPress plugins” on the website “www.claudemuller.com”, you would type “WordPress plugins site:www.claudemuller.com” into the Google search box.

II. Use the WordPress search function without the search box

• You can also use the search functionality built into WordPress by appending “/?s=search+term” to the end of the website’s URL.
• Replace “search+term” with the term you’re looking for. This will bring up the search results page with the search term already filled in.

III. Use a third-party plugin

• There are third-party plugins available that will add a search bar to your website’s menu or other areas.
