Ajax Search for your Tumblr

Ok, this is pretty awesome. This dude wrote some javascript so that your Tumblr account is searchable via an AJAX live search box. I plan on setting this up tonight.

jacobd:

Ok I redid a bunch of my tumblr search code.  Here’s the update list

  • Overhauled entire script. much cleaner
  • Uses “AJAX” to pull in data.
  • Loads all data, not just last 20 posts. (maybe should limit this in the future!)
  • Can have multiple search boxes
To include this in your site add this code to the customize part somewhere between the  tags.

<script src=”http://www.thisismydevsite.com” type=”text/javascript”></script>

Then put this code where you want a search box to appear.

<script type=”text/javascript”>Tumblr.searchBox()</script>

If you can, copy that JS file to your own server and link to that.

If you view source on my page you can see the custom CSS I added to format the search results, otherwise it will look pretty raw.

Enjoy!
