Move around and change BANS store search feature


I highly recommend that everyone play around with not only moving the BANS store search feature, but also changing the type of search bar as well. There are many types of formats you can use that are already included in the Build A Niche Store software.

If you open up the header file you will notice the statement below:
search()

You can change that to any of the commands below:

searchnoadvanced()
searchnotitle()
searchbasic()
searchside()
searchsidenoadvanced()
searchsidenotitle()
searchsidebasic()

You can also adjust the size of the attributes in the styles.css file as well. It is listed in the #search category of the styles section.

I usually like to put mine on in the right hand column and use the location of where the current search form is for some long tail keyword phrases. Play around with the different commands to see the different ways you can display it.

Ah!
Excellent.

The search facility always annoyed me.
It looks far to rubbish "out of the box".

Good info!
