Zipped : V2.7 -> 683Ko / V3.0 -> 33.6Ko !
MUCH LIGHTER, but STRONGER than ever !

Effect for any WordPress search input that morphs into a fullscreen overlay.
Enlarge the search input and show 5 most recent posts, 5 most used categories and tags with counter.
Once a search input is clicked, the whole search element expands to a fullscreen overlay.
The fullscreen overlay has a bigger search input.

There are no settings for this plugin. Simply activate it, click on any search input and see the magic happens !

In the Customizer, look for FSMS Plugin, design it as you want !
You can change colors, search placeholder’s text and default icons with a styling option !

Don’t forget to take a look at the FAQ Section.

A Picture is worth a thousand words

I think that a demo is even better !

How to install the plugin and get it working.

1. Install Full Screen Morphing Search plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Make sure to have at least one post with one category and one tag before activating.
3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
4. Navigate to your site and click on any search input and see the magic happens !
5. In the Customizer, look for FSMS Plugin, design it as you want !

1. 

   As you can see, their is a search form a close button and three columns.
   The first column shows the most 5 recent posts.
   The second column shows the top 5 used categories and how many posts each category has.
   The third column shows the top 5 used tags and how many posts each tag has.

2. 

   FSMS Plugin in the Customizer.

3. 

   Posts with no Featured Image defined.

4. 

   Change the default icons and choose to make the new Icon/Image Round or Not !

5. 

   First type something in the input text field, then change the input text color.

6. 

   Old screenshot.

Recent posts thumbnails are not round !

Some of your images where added before this plugin.
If your posts thumbnails are not round,
you’ll have to use, one time, a thumbnail regenerator.
I recommend Regenerate Thumbnails.
You can uninstall the thumbnail regenerator once the regeneration is done.

The overlay is not covering the whole page !

If your theme has some boxed style(s), like Twenty Sixteen or Twenty Twelve,
the overlay will only cover the inside box (the site content) !

How to change the search input text color ?

First, you’ll have to type something in the input,
then choose the desired color.
Take a look at the Screenshots.

How to change the shape of New Icon/Image ?

First make sure that you have used a thumbnail regenerator, see first FAQ.
Then, click on the checkbox option Icon/Image Round or Not ?!
If the new Icon/Image is already round (like the default one of category and tag), this option will have no effect !

Hitting Enter key doesn’t fire a search !

As long as the autocompletition gives results as you type,
the Enter key will only work on given results.
If you wish to ignore given results and fire a search query,
type your search then just click on the search icon.

Autocomplete predicts only posts and pages !

Yes, just for now !
I’ll be adding some more cool functions with time.
