Tumblelogs : Tumblr Search

Matthewbuchanan
The Tumblr folks have released an integrated search for individual tumblelogs. I’ve implemented it here and it works superbly. I use a few lines of JavaScript to convert the standard textfield into an OS X-style search widget for Webkit browsers like Safari.

Here’s the code required to add a search form to your theme:
    <form action="/search" method="get">
        <input type="text" name="q" value="{SearchQuery}"/>
        <input type="submit" value="Search"/>
    </form>

Check the Staff post above for some new custom theme tags. A slight hack is required at present to get {block:NoSearchResults} working — check out Jacob’s site where he includes an inline CSS rule to prevent duplicate content when using this tag.
I’ll add search support to the next release of my Vertigo theme.
