Hey Bubblers! 
I’m excited to announce a major update to the Search Pro Plugin - the ability to add new items directly from the search interface!
What’s New?
Ever had users search for something that doesn’t exist yet? Now they can create it instantly! The new “Add Item” button appears automatically when:
User types in the search box- No matching results are found
Key Features:
Fully Customizable
- Set your own button text (“Add Customer”, “Create Product”, “New Contact”, etc.)
- Choose from 2000+ Material Icons or go text-only
- Automatically matches your app’s primary colors
Smart Display Logic
- Only shows when it makes sense (no results + user has typed)
- Stays hidden when results exist or search is empty
- Clean, intuitive UX that users instantly understand
Perfect Event Integration
- Triggers
add_item_clickedevent - Captures the search query in
add_item_inputstate - Use it to pre-populate your “create new” workflows!
Production Ready
- RTL/LTL language support
- Responsive design
- Smooth animations and hover effects
- Disabled states handled properly
Real-World Use Cases:
🏢 CRM: "Add new contact" when searching for non-existent clients
đź›’ E-commerce: "Create product" when searching inventory
đź“š Content: "Add new article" when searching knowledge base
đź‘Ą Social: "Invite user" when searching for people
🎵 Media: "Upload song" when searching music library
How It Works:
- User searches for “John Smith”
- No results found → “Add Contact” appears
- User clicks → Your workflow runs with “John Smith” pre-filled
- Seamless experience, happy users!
Implementation:
Super simple to set up:
- Enable with one checkbox
- Customize label and icon
- Create workflow for the event
- Done!
Perfect For:
- SaaS dashboards
- CRM systems
- Content management
- E-commerce admin
- Any app where users create data
Try it out and let me know what you think! This update is live now and backward compatible with all existing implementations.
