    Hello, I just want to put a searchbox in my header just like yours. How to do it? Thanks

    Hi Britannia – I think the CBOX developers used Google’s Custom Search Element Control API in the header to accomplish this.  It requires some coding.  You can read about it here: https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/element

    You can also just use default WordPress search widget.  It is easy to install – you just drag it to the widget area of your choice – but be aware that search results will come only from WordPress content (i.e. posts and pages).

    Or you can shop around for a plugin on the WP Repository –  Google Custom Search  is a good one, but I’ve noticed that it conflicts with CBOX’s slider, so probably not a good option.  Search by Google is another option – easy to set up, but a little light on options.  There are other options as well – find one in the repository that you like.
