• Is this code in your theme's functions.php file? Check your browser's dev tools. Are you getting a 404 on search.js? – Dave Romsey Commented Sep 1, 2019 at 18:29
• @DaveRomsey Hello, its in functions.php I'm not even getting 404. It isnt showing at all. – mckvak Commented Sep 1, 2019 at 18:30
• 1 Woops ok, I missed this on the first read. Your're missing the call to wp_enqueue_script( 'search'); after it's registered. – Dave Romsey Commented Sep 1, 2019 at 18:38

Your're missing the call to wp_enqueue_script( 'search' ); after it's registered.

function js_enqueue_search() {
    wp_register_script( 'search', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/search.js', '', wp_get_theme()->get( 'Version' ), true );
    wp_enqueue_script( 'search' );
    wp_localize_script('search', 'search_ajax', array( 'ajaxurl' =>admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' )));
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'js_enqueue_search' );
