# `SearchBar`

`GtkSearchBar` is a container made to have a search entry.

It can also contain additional widgets, such as drop-down menus,
or buttons.  The search bar would appear when a search is started
through typing on the keyboard, or the application’s search mode
is toggled on.

For keyboard presses to start a search, the search bar must be told
of a widget to capture key events from through
[method@Gtk.SearchBar.set_key_capture_widget]. This widget will
typically be the top-level window, or a parent container of the
search bar. Common shortcuts such as Ctrl+F should be handled as an
application action, or through the menu items.

You will also need to tell the search bar about which entry you
are using as your search entry using [method@Gtk.SearchBar.connect_entry].

## Creating a search bar

The following example shows you how to create a more complex search
entry.

# CSS nodes

```
searchbar
╰── revealer
╰── box
├── [child]
╰── [button.close]
```

`GtkSearchBar` has a main CSS node with name searchbar. It has a child
node with name revealer that contains a node with name box. The box node
contains both the CSS node of the child widget as well as an optional button
node which gets the .close style class applied.
