Examples

Embedded search form with results

In the initial empty state of the search form, no preselected options are set, allowing users to freely input their search criteria. Once the form is submitted, relevant results are displayed directly on the page. The selected form fields are appended to the URL as a hash, enabling easy sharing and bookmarking of specific search configurations.

<div id="carpose-search-form"
    data-api-key="your-api-key"
></div>

Embedded search form with redirect

The brand-specific page highlights a particular car model. The search form on this page is configured to not display results directly. Instead, it redirects users to a dedicated results page upon submission. Additionally, the search form loads with an initial preselected state, automatically setting both the brand and model to match the featured car. The search form parameters are not included in the URL, ensuring a clean and focused navigation experience.

<div id="carpose-search-form"
    data-api-key="your-api-key"
    data-search-url-forward="https://example.org/search-result-page"
    data-disable-url-params="true"
    data-default-form-state-hash="eyJjb25kaXRpb24iOltdLCJtYW51ZmFjdHVyZXIiOiIzNyIsIm1vZGVsIjoiMjg1IiwibWlsZWFnZSI6bnVsbCwicmVnaXN0cmF0aW9uLXllYXIiOm51bGwsImdlYXJib3giOm51bGwsInZlaGljbGUtdHlwZSI6bnVsbCwiZnVlbCI6bnVsbCwiZGVhbGVyIjpudWxsLCJwcmljZS1mcm9tIjpudWxsLCJwcmljZS10byI6bnVsbCwic29ydGluZyI6bnVsbCwiZmVhdHVyZXMiOltdfQ"
></div>

For configuring the initial selection, the form hash can be copied from a different form where the parameters are appended to the URL. This allows for easy customization and consistency across different instances of the form.
