# \[cashback-shop-search]

The shop search box: a field that suggests shops as the visitor types, and falls back to a full results page when they press Enter.

```
[cashback-shop-search]
```

| Attribute       | Default             | What it does                    |
| --------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| **placeholder** | *Search for a shop* | The text inside the empty field |

```
[cashback-shop-search placeholder="Find a store…"]
```

### How it behaves

**As they type**, from two characters on, it asks the plugin for matching shops and drops a short list under the field — logo, name and cashback rate, each linking straight to that shop.

**When they press Enter**, the form submits to the shop directory, which renders a full, crawlable results page. That page works with JavaScript switched off, and it is the one search engines see.

The suggestions are a convenience layered on top; the form underneath is a plain `GET` to a real URL.

{% hint style="info" %}
This is the same box the [shop directory](/shops-and-cashback-rates/shop-directory.md) puts above its own listing. Placing the shortcode elsewhere — a header, a landing page — gives visitors the same search without sending them to the directory first.
{% endhint %}
