Where should I place the shortcode?

The shortcode [instant_search] can be placed in any post, page, or text widget. For best visibility, I recommend placing the shortcode in the header of a website. Either with the help of a page builder (Divi) or placing the shortcode in the header file template of the active theme:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[instant_search]'); ?>

It's amazing, congratulations…
I've never seen something so complicated done in such an easy way, it works perfectly, it integrates the microphone in a precise way and the online voice recognition works perfectly…just one suggestion, if the search could be closed by touching the screen or by restarting the search for another…
CONGRATULATIONS FRIEND, very good complement…very good work
