Add extra functionality to default search box using jQuery.

== Description ==

This is a super simple Wordpress plugin that simply adds some nice un-obtrusive Javascript functionality to the basic search box. This works out-of-the-box on a Wordpress search box once activated and gives you the ability to control the default search text from the admin panel.

**jQuery**

Enhanced Search box is built using jQuery and includes jQuery 1.3.2 from the Google AJAX Libraries API. In the admin panel you are given the option to not include jQuery, if you are already including a similar version (Enhanced search works from at least jQuery 1.2.6 and up) or if you are already using a plugin that is including jQuery.

**Enhanced Search Box Benefits**

    * Allows control over the default search box text from the Wordpress Admin
    * Clears the default search text when the search box is focused
    * Does not clear user-created search text
    * Replaces the default search text when the search box is unfocused if no new text has been added

== Installation ==

1. Upload the 'enhanced-search-box' folder to the '/wp-content/plugins/' directory
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
1. Set the default search text in the admin panel under ‘Settings’

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

**Wait. What does it do?**

It simply makes it so that there is default text in the search field (e.g. "Search"), and when a user clicks on the search field, that text is removed. When the user clicks out of the search field, that text is replaced unless the user has begun typing a search term, in which case the nothing happens.

Pretty basic.
