4. Locate Static Content Search and select 'Include Static Content Search'. (Note - if you are creating a search for content pages only, then select 'Static Content Search Only'.)
   
   
   
   
5. If you want to limit the number of results returned for content pages, scroll down to 'Limit the Product and Static Content Result Returned?' and ensure it is toggled on. In 'Static Content Search Result to Display', enter the maximum number of results to appear. If there are more results than the maximum number, the customer can click on 'View More Pages'. 
   
   
6. Click on the Titles tab and change the search results headings as required.
   
7. Click Save and if your site is in Page Preview mode, click Publish to effect the changes on your site.
