I have added the search bar in header but its not working properly. It shows the result from blog posts and pages (Not from dynamic pages like collection page). I have used wix search app. Anybody know how we can resolve this issue?

Hi Faizan,  
Yes, the Wix site search app doesn’t search for dynamic pages & database items. You can see here about the app: [https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-editor-about-wix-site-search](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-editor-about-wix-site-search)

If you need a search bar for searching dynamic pages or database items, you have the option to CREATE a search bar using CODE. Here is an easy-to-follow tutorial on how to create one:

Hi Arthur,  
As you can see here, they mentioned in the article. It will do search on dynamic pages too.

Hi Faizan,  
Ok sorry. I wasn’t looking properly. So make sure that your dynamic pages are **NOT** hidden from search engines. If you are still having problems, you can email wix support for help: support@wix.com

They are not hidden and added in the menu also. However I have contacted wix support two times but still didn’t hear back from them.

When i search “Atmoshphere Collection” It didn’t show that collection in search results. As you can see mostly search results are coming from blog posts and some pages centannitile-com

Is “Atmoshphere Collection” the name of your collection? Or is it the name of one of your dynamic pages? The Wix search app can’t search for the collection name. It can only search for dynamic pages.

@arthurvalatin It’s dynamic page. You can check it by going here /master-collections-1 and you will see “Atmoshphere Collection” there.

Hi, Reuben here even I’m having the same issue with search results… It only displays blog posts not the exact search items from my product collections when searched… What should I do to solve this?
