Quintura has Kid friendly search widget too

by Derek Anderson	Stumble this!	January 23rd 2008

The Quintura search widget (currently in the sidebar) offers your readers a completely different way to search. Utilizing the ‘Tag Cloud’ to display search terms that are relevant to the query you entered into the search bar.
Hover over the text to activate the search term. The first three results will be displayed below the search window. There are also a smattering of Favicons displayed in the cloud to aid in visual recognition of your search query.

Kid friendly
There is also a kid friendly version of the widget that filters results for the younger crowd. It’s as easy to put on your blog as the original but delivers an extra level of safety for your readers.

The code
This is a JavaScript widget. It is width and height adjustable to fit into your blog.

If you feel adventurous…you can dig into the code a bit and adjust the color of the background as well as the default search term. This is particularly cool for promoting themes or contests. You can even use this feature to push readers to information you think they would find useful.

The widget is Free to use and there is no registration necessary.

Where do I get it?
