WP Ajax Search Widget is a replacement for the standard search widget. Instead of redirecting you to a new search page the results are returned underneath the search input with an option to click through to the standard results page.
The widget allows you to choose how many results to show.
To install this plugin:
- Upload the
wp-ajax-search-widgetfolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
- That's it!
Alternatively you can search for the plugin from your WordPress dashboard and install from there.
Visit WordPress.org for a comprehensive guide on in how to install WordPress plugins.
The plugin has one filter that allows you adjust the search query parameters:
add_filter('wpasw_query', 'my_wp_query_array');
The plugin also has the following hooks for adding your own content at various points:
wpasw_before_widget
wpasw_after_widget
wpasw_before_results
wpasw_after_results
By placing the following template parts within a /parts/ folder in your theme you can also overwrite the HTML output:
parts/widget-ajax-search-result.php
parts/widget-ajax-search-more.php
parts/widget-ajax-search-fail.php
