Search Results Title block

Go back to the list of Blocks

The Search Results Title block displays a title above the search results. You can add this block to the search template in a theme that supports full site editing.

If you add this block in other templates, a page, or a post, the block won’t appear on the website’s front end.

To add one, open the search template in the Site Editor by clicking on the site icon (or the W icon, if no site icon is set for the site) and select Templates. Then choose the Search template from the list (If you don’t find the Search template, click Add New button and add the Search template to your theme). In the Search template, click the Block Inserter (+) icon and add the Search Results Title block to the template.

Refer to this support article for detailed instructions on adding blocks.

Now, if you perform a search on your website, you’ll see the search results title on the search page.
