@FindBy(name = "searchBox", id = "search")
private WebElement searchInput;

CThe WebElement must be initialized manually.
DMultiple locator attributes cannot be used together in @FindBy.

    @FindBy allows only one locator attribute per annotation [OK]
Quick Trick: Use only one locator attribute per @FindBy annotation [OK]
