## Description

**PLEASE, MAKE SURE TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE POST WITH ONE CATEGORY AND ONE TAG BEFORE
ACTIVATING**
 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](https://wordpress.org/plugins/full-screen-morphing-search/faq/)

I think that a demo is even better !

works.

## Installation

#### 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 !

## FAQ

### 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](https://wordpress.org/plugins/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](https://wordpress.org/plugins/full-screen-morphing-search/#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.
