I would to take user input for searching

Describe the solution you'd like

I know there's search bar but that's not what i'm looking for
Instead if we have textfield I could wrap around with other widgets since my app just wants to do is search more like spotlight

Describe alternatives you've considered

At moment none

Sorry my bad i guess we have to use searchEntry? The naming is super weird or generic.

I was checking out the libadwaita-demo app and saw under styles this below, so wanna ask which widget is this, I wish that this app told which widget they using since the naming is different.

There is GtkSearchEntry for search, and I've just added support for GtkEntry for more generic text fields as well (and there's also AdwEntryRow for similar use cases).

You can use the GTK inspector to find the name of widgets in GTK apps.
