Installing AddSearch on a Jimdo Website

AddSearch provides instant search results on your website, showing matches as users type. You can integrate AddSearch into your Jimdo website quickly by following these steps.

Step 1: Get your AddSearch Site Key​

  1. Log in to your AddSearch account.
  2. Navigate to Setup > Keys and installation.
  3. Copy the Your Site Key value. This key uniquely identifies your site for the AddSearch service.

Step 2: Configure your search widget​

Use the AddSearch Search Designer to customize the appearance and behavior of your search widget. When finished, copy the provided installation script.

Typically, the script will look similar to this (replace SITEKEY with your actual Site Key):

<script>
  window.addsearch = {
    sitekey: "SITEKEY"
  };
</script>
<script async src="https://cdn.addsearch.com/addsearch-ui.min.js"></script>

Step 3: Add AddSearch to your Jimdo website​

  1. Log in to your Jimdo account.

  2. Open your website editor and navigate to the Design section from the sidebar.

  3. Expand Advanced and click on Custom Template.

  4. Paste the AddSearch installation script into the template code where you want the search box to appear.

    • Typically, this is within the header or navigation area of your template.
