How do I embed an external search function?

Jimdo’s own search function is included in Business, Shop, and Platinum plans for Jimdo Creator. If you use a different plan, we recommend using an external provider, Findberry. Firstly, create a free Findberry account and enter your domain. By doing so, Findberry will crawl your website.

Copying the code from Findberry

1. Log in to your Findberry account
2. Click on the tab Search Box Code
3. Copy the code from the box Display results on the same page

Add the code to your Jimdo Creator website

1. Log in to your Jimdo account and choose the desired website
2. Click Edit to enter your Jimdo Creator website’s edit mode
3. Go to Menu > Settings > Edit head
4. Enter the first part of the code (see below) and click Save

   <link href="//www.findberry.com/search/css/colorbox.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="//www.findberry.com/search/js/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="//www.findberry.com/search/js/jquery.colorbox.min.js" type="text/javascript"</script>
<script src="//www.findberry.com/search/js/findberryfx.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

5. Add the Widget/HTML Element to your page where you want the search bar to be
6. Insert the rest of the code (beginning with <form action="//)
7. Save your changes

Please be patient: The search is only ready once your website has been crawled successfully.
