Brochure search form provides you with ability to show a list of available brochures to your site visitors.
You can implement brochure search functionality on your site using two methods:

Configurable Search form
HTTP GET Search interface



Configurable Search form usage

You can provide your own CSS to customize the look of the search form to match the look and feel of your site.
