great thanks!

Thanks for the explanation. Much appreciated!

What about updates to the code for security or compatibility? That is typically what we are looking for as far as maintaining a plugin. I appreciate your response.
Thanks!

superfast response! thanks so much

Hello,
Thanks for your reply. I have added the CSS code in the child theme and the load display issue was resolved. It did help with the speed issues as well but our concern is now that since part of the plug-in files are now outside of the plug-in, when there is an update to the plug-in, we will have to go into the child and replace the files there as well. We have this across several sites and that would be very cumbersome. Is there any plan to optimize this feature into the plugin?
Here are the test result averages for load time.
Before Ivory Search Plugin 3.61
After Ivory Search Plugin 4.46
After adding CSS in Child 3.86

Thank you!
