Installing The Perfect Tumblr Search

 Updated: This works properly now

Jacob Dehart has created the perfect Tumblr search engine. It does not require pages to be indexed by Google or Yahoo and is based on the Tumblr API meaning if its on your tumble-log, it will be found on the search. The best part is you do not have to re-load another page or click a button to view the search results. You can see the search engine live on my tumble-log here. So here is a tutorial on how to install such a search engine for your Tumblr page.

1. In the head section of your html, paste the following lines of code after the

 section:

2. Now paste the following line of code after wherever you want to position the search engine. I like my search engine underneath on my description area, so I paste it on the description section:

Search 
 

3. Optional: Give credit to Jacob Dehart. To do so, paste the following code on the

section:

Search by

Jacob
DeHart

4. If you did everything correctly, Congrats! You successfully installed the tumblr search engine

Note: Jacob Dehart owns all the rights to this search engine. The only downside to this search engine is that the javascript will slow down your page load time by about one second.
