2 months ago The input need to have pre defined styling or else search results will show up at the bottom of the document.
check this example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Real-Time Search</title>
<!-- Define styling for your elements -->
<style>
body {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.search-container {
position: relative;
width: 300px;
margin: 50px auto;
}
#search-input {
width: 100%;
padding: 8px;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="search-container">
<input type="text" id="search-input" placeholder="Search..." />
</div>

<script src="https://aidalog.github.io/cdn/light/octopalm.js"></script>
<script>
// define your target search items and target urls
const items = [
{ itemName: "Toyota Camry", link: "/vehicles/toyota-camry" },
{ itemName: "Honda Civic", link: "/vehicles/honda-civic" },
{ itemName: "Ford F-150", link: "/vehicles/ford-f150" },
{ itemName: "Chevrolet Silverado", link: "/vehicles/chevrolet-silverado" },
{ itemName: "Brake Pads", link: "/parts/brake-pads" },
];
// Initialize OctoPalm with the search input ID and items
new OctoPalm('search-input', items);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Try this out to check if your issue persist.
It will be cool if you make a fork and try to make it work even without pre-defined styling for the input search input 😎
When I type the keywords, the dropdown is not popping up....
