Great template!

How can I increase the number of characters that can be typed into the search field.
I tried typing in "Places to eat in Hot Springs" and it cuts it off at the end of "Hot".

My site is ExploreHotSprings.com.

Thanks

Hello,

You'll have to open up the php file for the s5 search module, look for:

Code:
<input type="text" onfocus="if(this.value=='<?php echo $search3text?>') this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='<?php echo $search3text?>';" value="<?php echo $search3text?>" size="50" class="inputbox" alt="search" maxlength="20" id="mod_search_searchword1" name="searchword"/>

NOTE: This is only for the built in google and yahoo searches if you are trying to change the Joomla search length this is done via the module admin side.

Regards,
