Features
This plugin adds thumbnails to image search results. You can see it live here.
Many times, on my own forums, I have used the search to find specific pictures.
Clicking on each search result to open the post and see if the image I was looking for was in there was tiresome ![]()
This feature makes searching for pictures easier.
By default, thumbnails appear only when using the with:images search filter, but there’s a setting to extend the feature to all searches.
