# Two Instances of the Same Search Page Component Have Been Added on a Page but Only One is Initialized
## Symptoms

When adding two instances of the same Coveo Hive component on a page, only one is initialized.
Here are the four components that display this behavior:

* Coveo Global Searchbox
* Coveo Date Facet Range
* Coveo Google API Position Provider
* Coveo Omnibox Result List

## Cause

The four component templates are shipped with a fixed GUID in their `__Standard Values`.
Hence, all instances created from a given template inherit the same `DOM Unique Id`.

## Resolution

### For Existing Component Instances

In the Sitecore **Content Editor**, you need to change the `DOM Unique Id` field value on your components to avoid duplicate IDs.

**Example**

If you have multiple Global Searchboxes on a page, you must change the `DOM Unique Id` field value.

### For Future Component Instances

You can force unique IDs to be generated automatically on all new instances of a component by setting the `__Standard Values` `Dom Unique Id` value to `$GenerateNewUniqueId` in the **Templates** section of the **Content Editor**.
