Preconditions

I've noticed a lot of users have got issues with the ultimo theme and the missing search bar and featured product so, here is a solution that fixes that issue.

Magento Version : 2.3

Steps to fix missing search bar

1. Create a new file app/design/frontend/Infortis/base/Smile_ElasticsuiteCore/templates/search/form.mini.phtml or under your own custom theme app/design/frontend/Infortis/custom_theme/Smile_ElasticsuiteCore/templates/search/form.mini.phtml
2. Paste the following code:

Hi! I've changed the code as is written by @romainruaud in #330. It solved "Error on Interceptor::addSortFilterParameters()" Than I've addead the above code to app/design/frontend/Infortis/base/Smile_ElasticsuiteCore/templates/search/form.mini.phtml and app/design/frontend/Infortis/Ultimo/Smile_ElasticsuiteCore/templates/search/form.mini.phtml but haven't search bar yet. Magento Version : 2.4.0 ElasticSuite Version : 2.10.1

What's wrong?
