Searching and Filtering in the Gallery

Searching narrows down the gallery by title, and the category filter helps separate different types of designs. You can use both tools together.

What you will learn

  • Search for a template by title.
  • Narrow down results using categories.
  • Browse through multiple pages of results.
  • What to do when no results are found.

How to narrow down results

  1. Enter a short, general word into the search field, such as "blog", "hotel", or "shop".
  2. Select a category matching the website's purpose. The search query and category filter apply simultaneously.
  3. Review the matched cards. Results are sorted starting from the newest additions.
  4. If there are multiple results, use pagination. Up to 48 items are displayed per page.
  5. Before creating a copy, open a detailed preview of the selected template.

When search returns no results

Start by removing the strictest filter. Shorten the query to a single word, change the category, or select all categories. The search operates primarily on template titles and internal identifiers. It does not search through every piece of text inside demo modules.

You don't necessarily need to search for an exact niche. For instance, a dentist's website might fit well into a clean corporate or healthcare layout. You can adjust the visual style later using global colors, typography, and skins. The primary layout structure is what matters most.

Results may change over time

An author may disable sharing at any point. Therefore, a template you saw previously might not remain in the gallery forever. However, any custom copy you have already created remains yours.
