It’s awesome that it gives you a block for the block editor! It’s simple and minimal, which is exactly what I wanted. I did not want one of those big text fields just sitting in my nav bar. The pop-up is perfect, too, taking on your site colors. It was so easy to implement. Thank you!

I tried this plugin just now for a site that I am building. It does its focused task very well! I wish the function were there in core, but this one fills the gap perfectly! Thanks to the developer for building and sharing this!
