Do you want to search blog posts by title only? By default, Elementor or WordPress searches through all post content, including titles, excerpts etc. and this can make it difficult to find the exact content a user is looking for. By limiting the search to post title only you can provide much more relevant results to users.
With the Search Bar widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor, you can easily limit the search to post title or other parts of the posts.
