Thanx bcworkz for clarifying

I’ve defined an individual widget in functions.php with name ‘Main Sidebar’ and from appearance->widget in WordPress UI selected ‘Main Sidebar’ to include a search form:

function fcc_widgets(){
    register_sidebar([
        'name' => 'Main Sidebar',
        'id' => 'main_sidebar',
        'before_title' => '<h3>',
        'after_title' => '</h3>',
         
    ]);
     
}

The tutorial link where search field and searchform.php are defined:

Thanx for reply!

I’m following a tutorial where a custom widget called ‘Main Sidebar’ is created in the WordPress UI. The widget contains a search form, category list and post list. All objects inside the widget are displayed correctly, but in the tutorial the search form inside the widget gets customized just by creating the searchform.php file. When I do the same the searchform.php is just ignored. Seems odd I can not replicate what is done in the tutorial.

Does you are answer imply that it is only possible to customize a search form inside a widget with CSS?

Unfortunately, not yet

Sorry for starting this thread. Didn’t realize I have to install another plugin to make this one work ??
