The better your blog’s search option is, the easier it becomes for visitors to find the content they are looking for. In normal Blogger themes, when someone types something in the search box and presses Enter, a new page loads, which takes time.
But the Probha template comes with super fast Live Search technology. When this feature is enabled, visitors can see instant results while typing in the search box—without reloading the page. This greatly improves your blog’s user experience.
Where to find the plugin?
You don’t need to edit any code to use this feature. You can control it directly from the layout section:
- Go to your Blogger Dashboard and open your blog.
- From the left sidebar, click on Layout.
- Find the Plugins section.
- Select the "Live Search" plugin.
- Click Edit to customize settings if needed.
- Click Save to apply the changes.
Once done, the live search feature will start working on your blog.
Configuration Guide
This plugin uses a simple JSON format for settings. When you edit the gadget, you will see code like this:
{
"status": true,
"noResult": "No Results found for #{q}."
}
Status
"status": true— Enables the live search feature."status": false— Disables it and works like a normal search box.
No Result Message
You can customize the message shown when no results are found:
