Plugin Description
This is a theme add-on feature that creates a dynamic, expanding Search button in the top right corner of the page. The Search button expands into a Search field and sliding widget side panel that contains a widget area for widgets. The side panel also displays search results above any widgets that are there.
Features
- Automatically add a sliding panel and content area for widgets to your site
- Integrate unobtrusive site search onto every page of your site through the slide out sidebar
- Add any content to your dynamic sliding sidebar via its built-in widget area
- Customize all the settings for the sidebar like button text, image, width, and search results properties
- Includes several hooks for developers to extend it further
Settings Allow you to Control
- Trigger Width (width of the area that triggers the panel to slide out)
- Trigger Text (what the button should say – usually something like “Search”)
- Trigger Image (an image to use beside the Trigger text)
- More Text (text to use to for loading additional results)
- Results per Page (how many results to show at a time before the More Text)
- Excerpt Length (how many characters of the content to include per search result)
- Percentage Width (size of the current window that the slidebar should take in percent)
- Minimum Pixel Width (minimum width of the slidebar regardless of current window width)
