Differences between Search Type 4 and Search Type 5

Advanced Search Type 4 uses a compact layout with a smaller search button and includes a close button, allowing users to collapse the search form.

Advanced Search Type 5 has the same layout as Type 4, but the close button is replaced with a search title. This title can be renamed or translated using the Loco Translate plugin.

Elementor Search Form Builder – Important Note

If you use the Elementor Search Form Builder widget on specific pages,
please note the following:

• The global Advanced Search Type selected in Theme Options still applies.
• Search fields are configured inside the Elementor widget and do not sync with Theme Options.
• Changes made in Theme Options → Search → Advanced Search Form will not affect Elementor-based search forms.
• Button styling (colors, padding, typography, alignment) is controlled from the widget’s Style tab.
• This allows full page-level customization without changing global search settings.
