Search box Webpart Suggestions hiding text

I am having a small issue with the search box suggestion.

when the search suggestions pop up, the text that the user has began to type, is hidden.

as you can see the the drop down menu covers the text that is currently being typed. Has anyone else had this issue, and is this an actual error, or just a design flaw?

any suggestions?

Hi, According to your description, my understanding is that the search suggestion cover the text typing in the search box.   I recommend to add a Content Editor web part to the page where the search box exists and add the CSS code below to the Content Editor web part: <style> .srch-AutoCompContainer {     }   .srch-AutoCompList {     min-width: 218px !important; } </style>   More information are provided in the link below: Fix: Search Box Suggestions Layout Problem When Used Outside a Search Center: http://www.estruyf.be/blog/fix-search-box-suggestions-layout-problem-when-used-outside-a-search-center/   Best regards.

Altering the px amounts move it around a bit, but never clear of the text box.

Are there other parameters that might adjust the position?

Hi,

I applogize for missing some code in my first reply.

Here is the completed code:

.srch-AutoCompContainer {
    top: 34px;
}

.srch-AutoCompList {
    min-width: 218px !important;
}

Best regards.

Thanks

Hi,

I recommend to change the "top: 34px;" to a bigger value to see if the issue still occurs.

Best regards.

Thanks

could it be something over riding the css on the webpart?
