My client wants to add a search box on specific pages that will allow their user to search for a product and it will scroll to that text. This way it’s easier for her to direct her clients to the right part of the page.
This is easily done using Ctrl-F with the browsers search function. Unfortunately the client wants the search to be part of the site.
Any advice on how to accomplish this? I’ve struggled to find a wordpress plug-in and any JQuery code I’ve used around the internet has failed me.
Thanks kindly in advance!
Not sure about its browser support, but you can call
window.find("your query here")
to use the browser’s Ctrl+F functionalityMore info here
You can use jQuery’s
:contains
selector.where
n
is the nth-match. You can probably get the number of matches first then by pressing enter or tab then scroll to the++n
-th match.
