Overview
A Flutter package that implements an expandable and animated floating search bar, commonly known as a persistent search bar. It provides a sleek, modern UI component that floats above content, enabling users to initiate searches without leaving the current context. The search bar animates smoothly when expanded or collapsed, enhancing user experience with fluid transitions. Designed for integration into apps requiring continuous access to search functionality, it supports custom styling, text input, and real-time query handling. Ideal for apps with frequent search needs, such as e-commerce platforms or content-heavy applications.
