How can I add a search bar to the Dawn theme header?

Store Design

I am currently using Dawn theme and I really want to implement a search bar into the header of my store which would be replacing the search icon, however i have not been able to find a solution to this, Any help would be greatly appreciated as this feature would be the finishing touch to my header.

Thanks in advance for any response

Hi @FinlayMg ,

Please go to header.liquid file and change all code:


{%- if settings.predictive_search_enabled -%}
  
  
{%- endif -%}
{%- if section.settings.menu_type_desktop == 'mega' -%}
  
  
{%- endif -%}

{%- style -%}
  .section-header {
    margin-bottom: {{ section.settings.margin_bottom | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
  }

  @media screen and (min-width: 750px) {
    .section-header {
      margin-bottom: {{ section.settings.margin_bottom }}px;
    }
  }
{%- endstyle -%}

<{% if section.settings.enable_sticky_header %}sticky-header{% else %}div{% endif %} class="header-wrapper color-{{ section.settings.color_scheme }} gradient{% if section.settings.show_line_separator %} header-wrapper--border-bottom{% endif %}">
  

{%- render 'cart-notification', color_scheme: section.settings.color_scheme -%}

{% javascript %}
  class StickyHeader extends HTMLElement {
    constructor() {
      super();
    }

    connectedCallback() {
      this.header = document.getElementById('shopify-section-header');
      this.headerBounds = {};
      this.currentScrollTop = 0;
      this.preventReveal = false;
      this.predictiveSearch = this.querySelector('predictive-search');

      this.onScrollHandler = this.onScroll.bind(this);
      this.hideHeaderOnScrollUp = () => this.preventReveal = true;

      this.addEventListener('preventHeaderReveal', this.hideHeaderOnScrollUp);
      window.addEventListener('scroll', this.onScrollHandler, false);

      this.createObserver();
    }

    disconnectedCallback() {
      this.removeEventListener('preventHeaderReveal', this.hideHeaderOnScrollUp);
      window.removeEventListener('scroll', this.onScrollHandler);
    }

    createObserver() {
      let observer = new IntersectionObserver((entries, observer) => {
        this.headerBounds = entries[0].intersectionRect;
        observer.disconnect();
      });

      observer.observe(this.header);
    }

    onScroll() {
      const scrollTop = window.pageYOffset || document.documentElement.scrollTop;

        } else {
          window.clearTimeout(this.isScrolling);

          this.isScrolling = setTimeout(() => {
            this.preventReveal = false;
          }, 66);

          requestAnimationFrame(this.hide.bind(this));
        }
      } else if (scrollTop <= this.headerBounds.top) {
        requestAnimationFrame(this.reset.bind(this));
      }

      this.currentScrollTop = scrollTop;
    }

    hide() {

This has worked! However the option for top padding in the header has now vanished, is there anyway I can increase the top padding? Also can I increase the search bars length?

Thanks in advance

We have a very custom LIQUID file. Can you isolate only the lines we must modify?
