search_plus 3.3.2

A production-grade Flutter search package with async API, local, and hybrid search adapters, plus polished UI widgets, theming, animations, and localization support.

Changelog

3.3.2

• Fix: AppBarSearchButton icon no longer shifts vertically (~20 px) when the search field expands or collapses.
  • The widget is now wrapped in a SizedBox whose height equals inputHeight, giving the AppBar a stable, constant-height anchor throughout the animation.
  • The icon SizedBox now uses inputHeight for both width and height (instead of the hard-coded 40) so that custom inputHeight values are respected correctly.
  • crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center is now set explicitly on the internal Row to guarantee vertical centering regardless of layout context.
• Theme: Added activeIconColor to SearchBarThemeData — controls the search-icon color when the field is expanded or focused, independently of focusedBorderColor.
  • Defaults to ColorScheme.primary.
  • copyWith and resolve updated accordingly.
  • AppBarSearchButton now interpolates the icon color between iconColor (collapsed) and activeIconColor (expanded) instead of using focusedBorderColor for the icon.

3.3.1

• Added textFieldBorder and textFieldFocusedBorder (InputBorder?) to SearchBarThemeData for full control over the inner TextField's border in all states.
  • Both default to InputBorder.none, eliminating the unwanted blue focus ring that Flutter's ambient InputDecorationTheme would otherwise draw inside the search bar.
  • Override either property to apply a custom OutlineInputBorder, UnderlineInputBorder, or any other InputBorder subclass.
  • Applied in both AppBarSearchButton and SearchPlusBar.
• Added copyWith method to SearchBarThemeData for convenient partial updates.

3.3.0

• Added AppBarSearchButton: a compact animated search action for AppBar.actions.
  • Renders a search icon by default; smoothly expands into a full text input on hover (desktop/web) or tap.
  • Collapses automatically when the field is empty and both hover and focus are removed.
  • Persistent expanded state while text is present.
  • Fully integrated with SearchTheme / SearchPlusThemeData for consistent styling.
  • Smooth SizeTransition + FadeTransition + icon color animation driven by a single AnimationController.
  • Responsive — hover-expand on desktop/web, tap-expand on mobile.
  • New example AppBarSearchExample added to the example app.

3.2.3

• Readme.md file updated
