Updated on July 29, 2013: Now you are able to initiate search panel as expanded by using Table setting from the extension side. This is very useful if you want to initate the search panel as expanded only for the certain table(s). PHPMaker has not handled it, yet!

Updated on September 19, 2013: Adjusted the disabled button effect when the button is clicked in Quick Search panel.

Last Updated on February 12, 2014: Now supports for RTL (Right-To-Left) style.

define("MS_SEARCH_PANEL_COLLAPSED", TRUE, TRUE);

define("MS_SEARCH_PANEL_COLLAPSED", FALSE, TRUE);

However, you are now be able to initiate the search panel as expanded by adjusting the Table setting from the extension side. This Table setting will override the Global setting from the constant above.
