Where to use it

An empty search box does not tell people what they can look for; this one does it by typing examples. It suits the hero of a marketplace, an icon or template library or a help centre: “Search icons…”, “Search palettes…” and so on. An animated placeholder in a search input, with a small script doing the typing.

The moving text is a hint, not a label, so keep a visible title or an accessible name for the field. Use real searches your visitors make and keep them short, three or four words at most.
