Search lives in the header. The visitor is eight hundred pixels down a long article, and they have thought of a question.
To ask it they have to scroll all the way back up, use the box, and lose their place. Most of them will not bother. The question goes unasked, and whatever page would have answered it goes unread.
What it does
Switch the floating button on and a small search control sits on every page, staying put as the visitor scrolls. Tap it and a compact search box opens where they are. Type, search, go.
It is the same search underneath, with the same ranking, snippets and deep links. Only the way in is different.
Where it sits
You choose the corner and how far in from the edge it sits, from Fetchie’s settings.
That second control exists because floating elements collide. Chat widgets, cookie banners, back-to-top buttons and sticky add-to-cart bars all want the bottom-right corner. Being able to nudge the offset means Fetchie can share the page with whatever else you are already running instead of sitting on top of it.
Off by default
The floating button is switched off until you turn it on, because it is a real addition to every page on your site and that should be a decision rather than a surprise after an update.
Sites where it earns its place are the ones with long pages: documentation, big catalogues, long-form content, anywhere a visitor spends time below the fold. Sites with short pages and a search box always in view can leave it off and lose nothing.
