Changes:
This fork was created for WordPress sites. Because Wordpress loads jQuery in 'no-conflicts' mode, the '$' function is not available. This fork replaces all occurances of '$(' with 'jQuery(' and '$.' with 'jQuery.'
The stylesheet pvs_search.css was also modified to display a very simple layout of the widget (div elements floated left, borders removed, padding tweaked to create a responsive layout).
