Hopp by Wix: Adding a Search Box to Your Link in Bio Page

6 min read
Add a search box to your Link in Bio page to keep it compact and tidy. Instead of showing all of your links in one long list on the page, your audience can use a search box to find them.
You can include any links you want to appear in the search - products, events, videos, anything that has a URL. Then, assign a code (keyword) to each link to make it easy to find.

Customize how your search box appears on your Link in Bio page. Choose to add a heading above your search box like "What are you looking for?" to direct your audience to search for a code. You can also add your own placeholder text to appear on the search box, like "Enter a code here".
