Freeway Pro comes packed with actions and there are a lot of resources where you can download additional ones. One of the actions in Freeway Pro is the Simple Site Search action. Sometimes people wish to have search functionality on their website. You can use external ones like Google, Atomz or Intrasite, but sometimes simple and functional is just good enough.

This article is not about how this action actually works, but is all about how to make it work in 8 simple steps. Fast and easy.
