Search Box For Blogger Mobile Site

Search Box For Blogger Mobile View

Like other blogging networks blogger also has mobile view for mobile users. It loads very quickly as it is in kilo-bites so mobile users can also read blogs by wifi connections or by mobile data. Blogger provides mobile view and also templates for it, but you have to optimize it in your way to get benefit of it e.g enabling ads, enabling essential gadgets(follow button, search box, related posts etc). It will help you to get more traffic as after optimizing your blog for mobile phones, you will be able to get mobile views too instead of loosing it. The default gadgets aren't optimized for mobile view so you need to use optimized gadgets for mobile view, One of the most essential gadgets(search box) which is powered by blogger doesn't work in all mobiles, it works only in smartphones like Iphone, Android, Htc, Nokia lumia phone etc but the phones which don't have android or ios aren't optimized for the common search box so you have to optimize search box to make it work in all mobile phones whether it is smart or not. Although the default search box works in smartphones but if it is used to search something, it works very slowly and the pages take too much time to load because the page is first searched for desktop fist and then converted to mobile view. So in this post I will share a well optimized search box for blogger mobile view which will work in all mobile phones.
