Yes, the Search button in the search bar can be removed in Webflow while still allowing the input field to perform a search when pressing the Enter key. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Select the search bar element in the Webflow Designer.
  2. In the Styles panel, locate the settings for the search input field.
  3. Set the Width property of the input field element to ensure it spans the desired width of the search bar.
  4. Remove the Search button element from the search bar by either deleting it or hiding it with appropriate styling (e.g., setting display to none).
  5. Ensure that the search input field has the correct class name. If necessary, specify a unique class name for easy targeting with custom code if needed.
  6. Publish or update your site to apply the changes.

By following these steps, your search bar will no longer display the Search button, but users can still perform a search by typing their query into the input field and pressing Enter on their keyboard.

It is important to note that removing the Search button may impact the user experience, as some users may not be familiar with the convention of pressing Enter to search. Consider providing clear instructions or visual cues to guide users on how to perform a search without the button.
