Remember the days when websites offered snippets for your own web page where typing in a search term and clicking the search icon would jump you to the site's search results page?
A typical minimal requirement was a table containing a framed thumbnail logo, above a search box coded with something like
Code: Select all
<form id ="search-box" action="http://www.targetwebsite/search?" method="post">
A bog standard snippet template might be a nice idea for this site- perhaps a choice of small/medium/large (framed) tables ranging from something like 200X100 to 300X150 to 450X225 pixels.
The AHK logo is a candidate for the thumbnail above the search box, so there might want to be urls pointing to reduced sized versions as well.
Here's a very rough working draft of a snippet that fits in a medium table, without the logo:
Spoiler
Although the css class def isn't included, modifications go begging, and some other stuff can be removed altogether, it's a start. The "open new window" on search is an idea, too.
Here's what a small picture looks like in a 300X250 box:
The snippet code:
A downside of this is the well known AHK new user/not logged in search time count policy. This can also be construed as a gentle incentive for interested parties to login and use the site.
Snippets like this providing a link-out portal will want to come commonplace in appropriate content of various social media websites- just a search button in context can be a bit drab for some (it has to be said)- the budding snippet meister can always level up to new and exciting functionality- but what?
Edit: Fixed code, added images.
