I've been trying to create a search form for a single content type in Backdrop CMS. I followed instructions provided by Gemini, but I'm stuck. Has anyone created a tutorial for building a search form in Backdrop CMS?the 

Accepted answer

The Search module from CMS core allows to limit the Content type and is quite suitable for use, the settings are available for understanding. The form is added to the pages like other blocks /admin/structure/layouts/manage/default

If you need decorate search results using fields (for example, with images, for online store or catalog), it is better to use Search API + Views.

What are you trying to search? Titles of contents? Content of body field? Have you tried creating a View and adding an exposed filter? Otherwise the search API module is a powerful way to create views with search filters for long text fields or combination of fields. There are tutorials for search API for Drupal 7 that can help.
