Customisation of MKWS searching widgets can also be achieved by

in a popup. The key part of such an application is this invocation of
the MKWS jQuery plugin:

- <div class="mkwsPopup" popup_width="1024" popup_height="650" popup_modal="0" popup_autoOpen="0" popup_button="input.mkwsButton">
- <div class="mkwsSwitch"></div>

attribute as follows:

Perhaps we should get rid of the `show_lang`, `show_perpage`,
`show_sort` and `show_switch` configuration items, and simply display the relevant menus

to lightly customise the display than my changing providing a full HTML

Set, it's necessary to understand that structure of the HTML elements that are
generated within the widgets. This knowledge make it possible, for example,
to style each `<div>` with class `term` but only when it occurs inside an
