## Definition <a href="#id-1.16.x-homepage-usersearchbundle-definition" id="id-1.16.x-homepage-usersearchbundle-definition"></a>

Users' first impression of a platform is formed through the homepage as it is the first interface they see. A homepage’s goal is to capture users' attention and to entice further exploration of the platform. As such, a clear message, as well as understandable funnels, must be explicitly displayed.

## Create a homepage <a href="#id-1.16.x-homepage-usersearchbundle-createahomepage" id="id-1.16.x-homepage-usersearchbundle-createahomepage"></a>

Homepages are generated by default. Users cannot modify content on the homepage. Administrators with the relevant rights and roles can change several aspects of the homepage.

## Read the Homepage <a href="#id-1.16.x-homepage-usersearchbundle-readthehomepage" id="id-1.16.x-homepage-usersearchbundle-readthehomepage"></a>

A user search-activated homepage is similar to the standard homepage described here: [Vendor Homepage](/v2.0/front-office/homepage/vendor-homepage.md) or [Customer Homepage](/v2.0/front-office/homepage/customer-homepage.md), with an additional dedicated search bar.

### Search bar <a href="#id-1.16.x-homepage-usersearchbundle-searchbar" id="id-1.16.x-homepage-usersearchbundle-searchbar"></a>

When the user search feature is enabled and the operator also enables Displays search form , users can select, through the related tabs at the top of the search bar (figure 1.1), which type of search they would like to perform.

The user search bar criteria slightly differ from the listing search bar (figure 1.2).

<figure><img src="/files/E1XNTdsFGXtEzImivyvN" alt=""><figcaption><p>Figure 1.2</p></figcaption></figure>

The search criteria are:

* Location (figure 1.3)

<figure><img src="/files/A5lmod6RNz8gbuMZeyEu" alt=""><figcaption><p>Figure 1.3</p></figcaption></figure>

&#x20;A user category (figure 1.4). These are different from listing categories

* Keywords (figure 1.5)

<figure><img src="/files/tPbBnWk7sxvxVd8t6pMx" alt=""><figcaption><p>Figure 1.5</p></figcaption></figure>

&#x20;

* Search for vendors only (figure 1.6)

{% hint style="success" %} <mark style="color:green;">All criteria can be combined for a more precise search.</mark>

<mark style="color:green;">Criteria can be singled out for larger searches.</mark>
{% endhint %}

Users then click the “*Search*” button (figure 1.7) to launch the search. The results displayed will match the information the user has selected.
