[Search Bar Plugin] - Header search bar plugin

Here’s where you turn this theme component on:

It’s disabled right now for a few reasons which need to be resolved:

  1. it loads too aggressively. It will load before the page on every page on our site, including the home page and then disappear if it’s not supposed to be there. So every page you view it appears before anything else, then disappears if it’s not a forum page.

  2. sometimes it sits above the category or tag-banner. Sometimes it hides the other banner. We want it to have much less top and bottom padding, and to sit below the current banner

  3. it insists on a title and description. We only want the search bar, not those extras.

  4. turn it on and enter a term like webdev. In the bottom right it suggests the ‘tag’. We want it to read the tag only, and we want to guide users to enter more than one tag.

I’ll make a mock up of this before you begin coding. Message me if I haven’t.

You might want to use the stock search bar and pull it into the tag-banners theme. As you can see below, all you need to do is hide the term ‘tags:’ and auto insert ‘+’ after they type a word to encourage a user to enter more than one if they want. If you use that search bar please consider that the magnifying glass with the current search function should remain the same. It’s for users who want to search in the current manner and not use our tag search bar.
