The button classes can be used on an <a>, <button>, or
<input> element:
Example
<a href="#" class="btn btn-info" role="button">Link Button</a>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-info">Button</button>
<input type="button" class="btn btn-info" value="Input Button">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-info" value="Submit Button">

Why do we put a # in the href attribute of the link?
Since
we do not have any page to link it to, and we do not want to get a "404"
message, we put # as the link. In real life it should of course been a real URL to the "Search" page.
Button Outline
Bootstrap 4 provides eight outline/bordered buttons:
Example
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary">Primary</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary">Secondary</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-success">Success</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-info">Info</button>
<button
type="button" class="btn btn-outline-warning">Warning</button>
<button
type="button" class="btn btn-outline-danger">Danger</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-dark">Dark</button>
<button
type="button" class="btn btn-outline-light text-dark">Light</button>

Block Level Buttons
Add class .btn-block to create a block level button
that spans the entire width of the parent element.
Active/Disabled Buttons
A button can be set to an active (appear pressed) or a disabled (unclickable) state:
The class .active makes a button appear
pressed, and the disabled attribute
makes a button unclickable. Note that <a> elements do not support the disabled
attribute and must therefore use the .disabled class to make it visually appear
disabled.
Example
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary active">Active Primary</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" disabled>Disabled Primary</button>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary
disabled">Disabled Link</a>
