Search API block
The Search API Block module adds a block to your Drupal site that displays a search input field. This is useful for integrating search functionality from the Search API module into any region of your website.
The Search API Block module provides a simple block in order to show a search input anywhere in your website.
The search module from core provides a similar block but since Search API is not compatible with the search module from core, this module adds this block for Search API.
Configuration:
1. - Add the Seach API Block
2. Configure the "Action URL", it will be the path of your search view page.
3. Configure the "Input name", it will be the name of your exposed search field. By default, it will use "keys".
Features:
- You can use token replacement when configuring the block
Additional modules:
- Better search block: This module allows you to style your search input very easily with animation. (Compatibility in the work: Issue #3236805: Search API compatibility)

Views exposed filter blocks: Provides a block type which renders views display exposed filters separately from the view. If you are looking for something more complex than just a search input, definitely go with this one.
