32 CSS Search Box & Search Bar Designs
Avatar Search
Search bar with the logged-in user avatar at the right edge — common in dashboards. Subtle but communicates "this search is yours".
Avatar Search the 16th of 32 designs in the 32 CSS Search Box & Search Bar Designs collection. The design is implemented in pure CSS — no JavaScript required. Copy the HTML and CSS panels below into your project. Because the demo is pure CSS, it works in any framework or templating engine you happen to use. The design honours prefers-reduced-motion and uses real semantic markup, so it ships accessibility-ready out of the box.
