Basic Search Form in Netsuite Theme

Here is a question I recently received from a new Netsuite user.

How can I create a search box in the header of your Netsuite theme?

“I am trying to create a header (site logo/nav bar) that also includes a search box, however according to the help files and my testing you can’t use the NLGLOBALSEARCHHTML tag in the Logo and Tabs Template.”

Answer is easy, create your own search using HTML (and CSS)

When you have advanced website builder in Netsuite you can add some basic HTML to your Web Theme in the Logo and Tabs Template area that will function similar to the NLGLOBALSEARCHHTML tag.

Here is an example of the code:
HTML only for show and not formated correctly. Note - You need to replace the XXXXXX with your Netsuite account number.

form method=”post” action=”/s.nl”
input name=”c” value=”XXXXXX” type=”hidden”
input name=”sc” value=”2″ type=”hidden”
input name=”search” class=”txtField” value=”" type=”text”
input name=”go” value=”submit” type=”submit”
/form
