The main idea of Autosizer is to keep the interface minimal, which is especially useful if you're on a notebook with a small display. If you're not using the searchbar the URL bar can be maximized while still being able to read a reasonable long query when searching. The search query can be removed and the search engine be resetted right after submitting in order to keep your minimal screen estate.

You can choose between different modes how Autosizer should size the searchbar; all can easily be customized via the integrated Assistant:

• Size incrementally, to each letter
  
  
  
  
  
• Enlarge Searchbar on first strike
  
  
  
  
  
• Keep the same width all the time
  
  
  
  
  

All values like minimum and maximum width can be customized by simply grabbing the searchbar's edges and sizing it to the desired width. Don't worry, the Assistant will guide you through all steps and will offer special modes simply by making it look how you would like it to be.

Don't like the default theme? Don't worry, Autosizer will work on any theme (if it doesn't, see FAQ) and I don't know about any conflict with other extensions, so installing is pretty save. If you don't like it, simply uninstalling it will return to default sizing.

If you're a little more advanced you can switch to an ordinary option dialog that features little graphics illustrating what this setting does.
