WOW

Thank you so much for the great review — I really appreciate it!

Regarding controlling the width of the search input:
Init Live Search already supports several flexible methods, such as applying custom CSS or adding your own class through the shortcode attribute. For example:

[init_live_search class="my-custom-search"]

Then you can style it as you prefer:

.my-custom-search { width: 320px; }

However, if you prefer a direct shortcode option for width, I hear you.
I’ll add this feature as a built-in parameter in version 1.8.6 so you can control the width without touching CSS.

Please keep the plugin updated to get the new option as soon as it’s released.

Thanks again for the suggestion and for using Init Live Search!

Thanks a lot, and happy to hear you figured out a clean setup using the native Search Block — that’s exactly how it’s supposed to feel: effortless.

To clarify:

• Init Live Search automatically hooks into any search form on the page, as long as the form uses a standard search input (name="s").
• The shortcode exists just as a quick launcher (icon or input), but it’s completely optional.

Regarding your question:

“Will there be an option to set a number of posts to display (auto insert related posts)?”

Yes — the plugin already includes two shortcodes for that:

[init_live_search_related_posts count="5"]

and the AI-enhanced version:

[init_live_search_related_ai count="5"]

Both support:

• choosing post count
• selecting post types
• choosing templates
• enabling/disabling CSS and Schema

So yes — you can already control how many related posts are shown, and AI scoring is built in.

Thanks again for the amazing feedback — I’m actively improving this plugin and your suggestions genuinely help shape the roadmap. 🚀
