How to create a search bar for my blog page

I'm looking for help in creating a search bar for my blog page. Other web builders have a nice CMS that would allow me to filter each blog page by categories and searching limited to content only within the blogs, but I'm feeling too restricted with Squarespace. I want to create a simple search tab (like the one I photoshopped above) that is limited to the content of all of my blog articles. 

You can limit the search results to one blog page:

Thanks ― but how do you create this search tab? That's my main question.

It's a block, like a text block or image block, add it from the new block menu.

Hey @Eshman5, Squarespace's own search is quite limited. In case you're looking for an alternative, may I also present to you Monocle Search – a much more powerful search for your Squarespace site, that's super fast and searches across all pages. If you're interested, check it out on our website. Of if you have questions, just ping me here.

Good luck!

@Felix_DNH This looks really interesting, and could be a very valuable plugin for many people. Your monthly price is as much as the Squarespace business plan, I think this may be a hard sell to most of my clients. Might you be offering a one-off payment in the future, or is there a need for ongoing revenue because of the setup?

Hey @Ziggy, yeah we're thinking of offering a lower entry point, but likely not a one-time option. 

Can you give me some insights into what kind of clients you have that would benefit from search, but not be able or willing to pay our price? Do they have particularly small sites? Few pages / few visitors? Are they maybe more private sites, showcasing a portfolio or the like? 

Thank you!
