I wanted to place a search box field in my header area but found no add ons for this. This is primarily for 2.3 but I am sure will work with 2.2.

This contrib will not change any existing scripts but rather simply adds simple fields in header.php and stylesheet.css. Real easy and quick.

Hope this helps,

Charles

Cool, I alway thought that the search function sucked.

Any directions to site that is using this already?

Cheers

i put this on my header, but the search button does not have a hand hovering over it

how do you change this so that it does?

something is not right with this code

someone advise

@vampirehunter

This type of button doesn't have a hand by default in the browser.You can add it in css.

Give the button an id and in css give it an attribute

cursor: pointer;

Hello

I've installed in my header but I can't click on it!

There's just an arrow when I place the cursor over it. I have an idea that the reply above solves but can't understand what to do.

Can someone be more explicit please.

Thank you!
