By default, the Confluence search box lives in a fixed position in the Confluence header.

If you would like to have more control over the positioning, sizing, and styling of the search box, however, or if you plan to restrict user access to the Confluence header, you may move the search box into the Brikit Theme Press header area as part of your theme design. Once the search box is moved into the Theme Press header, you will be able to move position it around.

Move the search box into the Theme Press header

Open the Theme Designer and navigate to the search box placement controls:

class	product-navigation

Theme Designer → HTML Structure section → Click Search Box (under Canvas → Canvas → Header Layer) → Search Box → Expand Placement options → Tick Header checkbox

Position the search box as you wish

Directly below the Header checkbox, you will see four controls to further customize the positioning of the search box.

You may change the vertical and horizontal position of the search box using the drop-down menus. Enter positive or negative pixel values in the vertical and horizontal margin fields to further refine the position of the search box.

If you are also using Brikit Targeted Search and have replaced the Confluence search box with a Targeted Search field on any pages using a theme that has been configured as shown above, your search box position settings will be overridden as the search box on those pages will appear in its original, fixed position in the Confluence header.

Aim for 4 or fewer related links. If we need more, that's okay. Be judicious. Delete me when you're done.
