=== Enhanced Search Box === Contributors: Jake Snyder Donate link: http://labs.jcow.com/donate/ Tags: search box, javascript, useability, jquery Requires at least: 2 Tested up to: 3.3.1 Stable tag: 0.5.4 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. **2012 Update** After 3 years, the plugin has been updated; however, there is another update coming soon to convert the plugin to use html5 placeholder. **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. == Screenshots == 1.
