Cool plugin, except as a designer/developer there’s not enough flexibility with the placement of widgets. (as far as I know). So I threw together a few scraps of code to replace what’s in searchform.php to replicate that functionality, and now I can just pull in that file anywhere.

Man… and this was SO close to what I was looking for! Thanks for making at least SOMETHING available though! ;-)

Please take a look at this rough outline: http://home.tiscali.de/contactsheet/safaristyle-suche/ I know it's neither perfect nor completely crossbrowser (you'd need to tinker a bit with Conditional Comments for IE and such). Maybe you want to adopt a few css-pieces from my example, in order to really have a Safari-Style-Search-Widget (and not only in Safari) currently your plugin only deserves it's name while someone is really using safari ;) Regards.

I just internationalized this plugin, but can’t find a way to get it to you and out in the open. Can I send an email?

That was a great plugin thanks to the main admin or the plugin maker for this

This little widget is great. I had to to do some digging online to find the plugin for download though. Zak, I found it on one of the wordpress.org links to their plugin repositories, check there.

Reid, could you email me I have a question for you, but I can’t find your contact information anywhere. Thanks.

I was looking into WP widgets when U stumbled on this site. The safari search plugin interests me greatly. Unfortunately, I cannot find a place to download the PHP file on this site. Did you remove access to the file, or am I blind?

@Airway

You must have a widget enabled theme for WordPress, then go to Presentation>Sidebar Widgets to activate the plugin.

i don’t have much experience working with widgets, so i’m kind of confused. i put the safarisearchfield.php file in my plugins folder and activated it. but i don’t under stand what you mean when you say “add the widget to your sidebar.” how do i do that?
