Description

Search tool helper to find text on page. Can be used a a sidebar widget to cover any volume of text either on the page or in the content of the article itself. This is set as a default to find text specifically that is in a single post article. You can expand this by changing the name of the CSS class that your searchable text is enclosed in.

Let us say you are wanting to include the sidebars and the header and the footer of the page as part of your search. In this case, you would change the name of the Wrapper Class to the same name as your body class for example, in which the body tag element would get a new data type of “data-finder-content” once you save your Wrapper Class name to the plugin Options Settings page.

Helps your readers find text on the page if articles are long. Can also be used as a writting developer tool to count keywords in an article.
