Custom functions for activating search
On a custom landing page you can build your own search input, but you'll also need a way to show the search modal — we've got you covered.
On the `window` object of the browser there are 2 methods you can call to control the search modal.
JS
// shows the search modal
window.showSearch()
// hides the search modal
window.hideSearch()
// shows the search modal
window.showSearch()
// hides the search modal
window.hideSearch()
﻿
These functions are also available for usage in your custom scripts.
