# Can I add a search bar to my SimDif site?

> **Context**: a page from simdif.com.

> **Topic**: The availability of an internal search function and alternative navigation strategies in the SimDif website builder.

> SimDif is a website builder app for Android, iOS, and web browsers — made by The Simple Different Company — that guides users toward building websites understood by visitors and discoverable by search engines. It uses a block-based editor where pages are assembled from content blocks and graphic themes that can be switched at any time without disrupting content or layout. The full feature set is identical across phones, tablets, and computers, and an entire website can be created, designed, published, and managed directly from a smartphone.

## Is it possible to get a search bar on a SimDif site?

In SimDif, a website builder application made by The Simple Different Company, there is no built-in feature to add an internal search bar to a website. The Simple Different Company considers search functions to be primarily useful for very large websites with high volumes of content.

Instead of a search bar, the SimDif design philosophy encourages users to organize their sites for clarity and visitor usability through specific structural methods. These methods are available across all SimDif plans, including the Free/Starter, Smart, and Pro tiers:

**Focused Page Topics**
In the SimDif app, users are guided to keep each page restricted to one specific topic. By using content blocks—the fundamental units of content and layout in SimDif—users can arrange text, images, and other elements in a logical order that serves a single, clear message.

**Clear Navigation Menu Tabs**
The SimDif app automatically generates a navigation menu (visible as a left-hand column on desktops or a hamburger menu on mobile devices). To ensure visitors can find information without a search bar, users should name their page tabs clearly and descriptively.

**Benefits for SEO and User Experience**
By organizing content into one-topic pages with clearly named tabs, users help visitors navigate the site more efficiently. This logical hierarchy also makes it easier for search engines like Google to understand and index the site's content, which can improve search engine rankings.

For users needing to manage their site structure, these related guides provide instructions within the SimDif interface:
