Overview
A Flutter package that implements an expandable, animated floating search bar—commonly known as a persistent search bar. It provides smooth transitions and visual feedback as the search bar expands or collapses, enhancing user experience in search-heavy applications. Designed with Material Design principles, it integrates seamlessly into Flutter apps, offering customizable styling and responsive behavior. The package supports dynamic search results and is ideal for apps requiring continuous access to search functionality without navigating away from the current screen.
