`SearchInput` supplies a search icon and text input. `onChange` receives the new string. Filtering, fetching, and debouncing belong to your application.

```tsx theme={null}
import { useState } from 'react';
import { SearchInput } from 'twenty-ui/components';

export const PeopleSearch = () => {
  const [search, setSearch] = useState('');

  return (
    <SearchInput
      aria-label="Search people"
      placeholder="Name or email"
      value={search}
      onChange={setSearch}
    />
  );
};
```

Use `aria-label` or `aria-labelledby` for an accessible name. `filterDropdown` receives a filter button that you can compose with a [Dropdown](/ui/components/dropdown) trigger using `render`. Supply `filterButtonAriaLabel` to name that action. `disabled` disables the text input; configure the optional filter controls separately.

<StoryEmbed storyId="ui-input-searchinput--default" title="SearchInput example" height={280} />
