web_finder_content_search_field Shortcode
The web_finder_content_search_field shortcode adds a free-text query input to a legacy Finder. It collects search words; submitting the Finder is handled by a submit field or the form's own behavior.
The attributes below match the current Page Builder controls and public output. Use raw syntax only for reviewed content that cannot be maintained through the visual controls.
Allowed parent shortcodes: web_finder_column.

class |
form-control |
String unless stated otherwise | Adds one or more custom CSS classes to the rendered control. |
Finder composition
Place the input directly inside web_finder_column. The callback attaches it to the active Finder configuration and adds the standard form-control class plus spacing after the field.
Verification
Search for a known title or phrase, then clear the field and submit again. Confirm the visible label explains what is searched, the placeholder disappears while typing, and keyboard users can reach the input in the intended filter order.
