To further customize Webflow search results and achieve a card layout format like the one seen in the example, you can follow these steps:

  1. Add a Collection List: The first step is to add a Collection List to your search results page. A Collection List is a dynamic element that can display the dynamic content from your collection.

  2. Design the Card Layout: Next, you need to design the card layout for your search results. Within the Collection List, add a Collection Item and design it to represent each search result as a card. You can use div blocks, text elements, images, and other elements to create the desired layout.

  3. Bind Data Fields: After designing the card layout, you need to bind the data fields from your collection to the elements in the Collection Item. For example, you might link the title field to a text element, the image field to an image element, and so on.

  4. Style the Collection List: Now, you can style the Collection List and the Collection Item to further customize the appearance of the search results. You can adjust the spacing, typography, background color, and other visual aspects using Webflow's design tools.

  5. Filter the Collection List: To ensure that the search results display the relevant content, you can use Webflow's built-in filters. You can filter the Collection List based on parameters such as keywords, categories, or any other relevant data field.

  6. Use Pagination: If you have a large number of search results, it's a good idea to divide them into pages using pagination. This helps in organizing the results and improves the user experience. You can add pagination controls to navigate between different pages of search results.

  7. Test and Iterate: Once you have set up the card layout for the search results, it's important to test it thoroughly. Make sure the design looks well on different devices and screen sizes. Gather feedback from users and iterate on your design to make it more effective and user-friendly.

By following these steps, you can customize Webflow search results and create a beautiful card layout format like the one seen in the example.
