Hi @alexgraphicd – there is an enhancement request for this feature but it has not yet been implemented in the Search block. There isn’t a simple way to do this on your own, but there might very well be a plugin that can, so I’d suggest taking a look to see if something might fit the bill.
Hello @alexgraphicd
I managed to do this with CSS:
.wp-block-search__inside-wrapper
.wp-block-search__input {
background-color: transparent;
background-image: url(insert the URL of your search icon here!);
background-position: 5px center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 24px 24px;
border: none;
cursor: pointer;
height: 37px;
margin: 3px 0;
padding: 0 0 0 40px;
position: relative;
-webkit-transition: width 400ms ease, background 400ms ease;
transition: width 400ms ease, background 400ms ease;
width: 0;
}
.wp-block-search__inside-wrapper
.wp-block-search__input:focus {
background-color: transparent;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
cursor: text;
outline: 0;
width: 200px;
}
.wp-block-search__label
.search-form
.search-submit{
display:none;
}
::placeholder {
color: black;
}
Hope this helps! 😊
