    I’m wondering if there’s a way to disable the live search suggestions on the mobile search. Currently, when typing in the search field on mobile devices, the theme displays a list of results before pressing the Enter key.

    I’ve checked the Theme Options and didn’t find a setting to disable this behavior. Is there a configuration option or a customization method to prevent live search suggestions from appearing until the user presses the Enter key or submits the search?

    If not, I thought it would be a useful feature to add in a future update.

    Thanks

    Dear @Raquel,

    We hope this message finds you well.

    Could you kindly provide us with the URL of your website using private content? This will allow us to review the type of Header Builder you are currently using and determine whether it is possible to disable the AJAX search functionality while retaining the default option.

    Additionally, if you prefer, you may submit your request directly through our task board at the following link: https://www.8theme.com/roadmap/.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Best regards,

    Hi Jack.

    To give you some context, this is a private B2B e-commerce site that uses Ultimate Member to control access to each customer’s products and categories.

    I’m using Elementor for the Header and Layout > Display Conditions to control the display of each customer’s menu.

    Hence the need to disable Ajax Search, as it doesn’t consider access rules and a customer can view another customer’s products in Live Search. If you search for “blusa” on the mobile, you’ll see that another customer’s products will be displayed.

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Dear @Raquel,

    We hope this message finds you well.

    You may try adding the following code snippet under Theme Options → Theme Custom CSS → Global CSS:

    .etheme-elementor-mobile-menu-search .etheme-search-form-clear, 
.etheme-elementor-mobile-menu-search .etheme-search-ajax-results {
    display: none;
}

    This adjustment is suggested because the AJAX functionality is enabled by default for the search element in the mobile menu. By hiding the AJAX results, the search will function similarly to a standard search field.

    Should you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out.

    Best regards,
    The 8Theme Team
