How to add a search icon that works

Hi Trevor,

I searched and found this thread so I was able to add a search icon:
https://support.searchandfilter.com/forums/topic/need-to-add-icon-right-to-search-box/

My problem is how can we get it to actually input the search keywords/basically get it to work like an actual search button?

You may need to add some JavaScript to the page so attach an onclick event to the after pseudo class that would then submit the form. I am not sure what this code would look like though, so you may need to seek assistance from a third party coder or help site (like Stack Exchange, e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5563783/jquery-class-click-multiple-elements-click-event-once). the event would trigger the form using code like this:

$('.searchandfilter').submit()
