 * Hello Sir,
    On your description Page, there’s the question—_How can I add a search
   form?_
 *  Your reply is this– **You can use the Widget, Shortcode, and PHP function to
   display the search form. Also, you can add a hidden HTML field to your existing
   searchform.php template**.
 * Unfortunately, I can’t find the widget, nor can I see the shortcode.
 * 2.) How do I add the hidden HTML field to my existing searchform.php template?
 * needing to hear from you soon.
 * Regards
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fadding-a-search-form%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi,
 * If you are using global setting then all default WordPress search form widget
   and shortcodes are valid.
    The WPES form widget and shortcodes only available
   for custom search settings. To add custom search settings please go to Extended
   Search > Settings Name then add new setting and you will see the detailed page
   to use that setting.
 * Please let me know if you have more question.
 * Thanks
