=====Important Notes=====
  * **Make sure the domain %%'www.yourdomain.com'%%** is set to the actual domain of your site!
  * **Wait until your site is live** to use the search and sellet leads widget. \\ These widgets will not display properly until your site is live as they are linked to your live domain rather than your development domain.
  * **%%Do not include the 'http://'%%.** Use only the domain name.
  * **Insert this code into the body of your page.** \\ DO NOT put it in the header, and do not put it at the very bottom of the page (unless you want the widget to be at the very bottom!)
  * **Make sure you adjust the widget and height properly** and give the widgets enough space (the **Wide Layout** should be at least 340px wide, and the **Thin Layout** should have at least 240px.

  - This will launch the configuration tool where you can configure the basic dimensions of the widget.
  - There are two layouts the widget can be generated to.\\ -The wide layout is optimized for a broad appearance with side by side drop down menus.\\ {{:searchwidgetconfigwide.png}}\\ -The thin layout is optimized for a vertical appearance, which can be place in sidebars due to drop downs that are positioned on top of each other.\\ {{:searchwidgetconfigthin.png}}
  - Make sure that the domain is set to your active domain name or the widget will not generate properly. You will know it is generating properly if the preview is visible.\\ {{:searchwidgetconfig.png}}
