Search

Break uses Ghost's own search. There is nothing to set up. The theme adds a search button to the top bar and a keyboard shortcut, and Ghost does the rest.

Opening Search#

The / key does nothing while the reader is typing in a field or has a panel of the top bar open, such as the bookmarks or the menu. Pressing ? opens the settings panel, which lists every keyboard shortcut. See Reading Preferences.

What Search Finds#

The search window, its results and what it looks through all come from Ghost, not from the theme. To make posts easier to find, give them clear titles and write a custom excerpt in Post settings → Excerpt.

Hiding the Search Button#

Break has no setting for the search button. To hide it, add this to ⛭ Settings → Code injection → Site header:

<style>
  [data-ghost-search] {
    display: none !important;
  }
</style>

The keyboard shortcuts still open search after the button is hidden. See Code Injection.

Alternative Search Solutions#

If you need more than Ghost's search, such as filters or typo tolerance on a large archive, services like Algolia can replace it. They need extra setup and usually some custom development.
