    Hi
    I am recently working on adding a “help” note to explain some details about how to use the search box to discover more books in the database. Here is the webpage that I am working on. https://www.mlkfreedomlibrary.org/our-collection/

    Basically, I am using the wordpress plugin named “Tooltips”. So if you put the mouse over “HELP”, it will show the note. I hope this can make people take a look at the note if they are having trouble finding books. But I faced a problem when I try to put it closely besides the search box, and realized that the search box and the results are displayed as a whole. So it may be a tricky question. But is there any way I can do to put the “HELP” besides the search box so that it looks nicer?

    Thanks a lot!

    Well the weblib_searchform short code creates a single <form>…</form> block.

    I *guess* you could do something like:

    <table><tbody><tr><td align="top">[weblib_searchform ...]</td><td align="top">Help</td></tr></tbody></table>
[weblib_itemlist ...]

    It looks like you used to WYSIWYG editor and it put in extra <p> tags, etc. To get things right, you will probably have to turn off the WYSIWYG editor and directly hack on the HTML. It should be possible to get things looking better that way.
