Webflow has a built in Search element that you drop onto a page or into your nav or footer to make search accessible.
As of Jan-2024, on pages where you have another form which contains required field validations, your search form cannot submit.
Even though it's a separate and unrelated form, Webflow.js appears to get confused and triggers validation for all of the forms on the page.
Workaround: you can replace your search form with a custom form to remedy this.
