20+ Tailwind Search Bars
This collection is a toolkit for building modern and interactive search bars with Tailwind CSS. Basic layouts with icons using Flexbox, as well as advanced expandable animations with transition-width and focus-within, are covered. For building complex UI components like “live” search with filtering, integration with Vue.js and Alpine.js is demonstrated. This is a set of solutions for any level of complexity, from simple inputs to full-featured search interfaces.
Examples
Tailwind Custom Select
A complex, manually constructed Custom Select component where all core functionality - including filtering, state management, and display toggling - is implemented imperatively using Vanilla JavaScript and DOM manipulation.
See the Pen Tailwind Custom Select.
Liquid Glass Search Engine
A visually striking ‘Liquid Glass’ search interface defined by deep glassmorphism (backdrop-filter: blur(20px)).
See the Pen Liquid Glass Search Engine.
Search Bar with Tailwind
A compact search icon that smoothly transforms into a full-fledged input bar upon click and automatically hides when focus is lost or clicked outside of it.
See the Pen Search Bar with Tailwind.
Users List with Vue 3 and Tailwind
A responsive user directory application built with Vue 3 Composition API and styled using Tailwind CSS. It features real-time search functionality and tag-based filtering implemented via a reactive computed property, allowing users to instantly sift through profiles by name or category (e.g., “actor”, “editor”) within a clean, grid-based layout.
See the Pen Users List with Vue 3 and Tailwind.
Tailwind and Alpine.js Invite Modal
A responsive, interactive list featuring instant search and intuitive selection, delivering a native app-like feel.
