Bettersearch

The Bettersearch plugin adds a fulltext search to your website with a modern modal window that integrates smoothly into all themes. The plugin requires a MAKER license.

Just upload the plugin and activate it in the plugin area. You can customize the wordings of the search-placeholder and the no-result-message. The plugin will add a search-bar to your website and open a modal search window if a user clicks on the search-bar. Test the search functionality on the Typemill website.

The modal window will also provide a quick-filter on the left side that lists all the first-level-folders of your website. This is a super simple and highly effective way to filter the results by main-topics.

The plugin does not require any third-party-software like Google Search or Algolia. Instead it includes the JavaScript search library lunr.js and generate a full-text search index on the fly.
