Reduces the screen real estate used by tag search, by switching radiobuttons to dropdowns or button groups. Through a GUI configuration you can control how exactly the search form displays.
How to use it
To control how the search form looks, go to the configuration GUI.
If you’re upgrading from an older version of this script to v4, you will have to re-select your preferred configuration.
How to configure it
In the main navigation of AO3 (the red bar across the top of the page in the default skin), next to “About”, there’s a new menu “Userscripts”.
From the “Userscripts” menu, select the “Smaller Tag Search” option.
A configuration GUI opens. Here, you can define
- whether the two text inputs should display on a single line, or below each other (with labels). If the screen is narrow, the textfields will still move below each other.
- how the Tag Type, Tag Status, Sort By, and Sort Direction options should display. They can be dropdowns or buttongroups. Buttons can also have text on them, in addition to the icons.
- whether the Tag Type, Tag Status, Sort By, and Sort Direction options should have the label above them.
- which options should be selected by default; for example if you typically search freeforms within a fandom you wrangle.
Known issues
The script is intended for landscape (wide) screens. The layout of the form options and the configuration GUI might not work well on portrait (narrow) screens or on touch displays.
Other skins than the AO3 default may have interference in their CSS that cause it to display weirdly. Please contact me through GreasyFork’s feedback function for help if you need it.
