ion-searchbar

Searchbars represent a text field that can be used to search through a collection. They can be displayed inside of a toolbar or the main content.

A Searchbar should be used instead of an input to search lists. A clear button is displayed upon entering input in the searchbar's text field. Clicking on the clear button will erase the text field and the input will remain focused. A cancel button can be enabled which will clear the input and lose the focus upon click.

Keyboard Display

Android

By default, tapping the input will cause the keyboard to appear with a magnifying glass icon on the submit button. You can optionally set the inputmode property to "search", which will change the icon from a magnifying glass to a carriage return.

iOS

By default, tapping the input will cause the keyboard to appear with the text "return" on a gray submit button. You can optionally set the inputmode property to "search", which will change the text from "return" to "go", and change the button color from gray to blue. Alternatively, you can wrap the ion-searchbar in a form element with an action property. This will cause the keyboard to appear with a blue submit button that says "search".
