Very cool plugin, works as intended. 4 stars because it’s apparently “one-click” only, no customization whatsoever.

Working Pretty Well

I have not had any major problems with it. The idea of making things easier for mobile users is great. I think this may be something that i install on every website by default. I noticed when using this plug-in that a gap appears at the footer when this plug-in is activated. It looks like the search box is being pushed back there by default. There my be another suggestion, but it seems a quick fix is to add this CSS to the website: — #full-screen-search{ display: none; } #full-screen-search.open{ display: block; } — Make sure your search form has the role search, and there really shouldn’t be any problems with it. ??

Didn't work for my theme.

I’m using a rather popular theme, Enfold, and this plugin simply didn’t work for me. When I looked further into the documentation, it recommends using SearchWP, which costs $49.

Love it

I discovered it upon another useful post of WPBeginner. Obviously this plugin is very efficient, and I do not need to develop it this time. Thanks guys ??
