SearchWP Shortcodes

Many WordPress themes give you one search box and one results page, and changing either usually means editing templates. SearchWP Shortcodes removes that step. You copy a shortcode into a page, post or widget area, and the search form or results list appears right there. It works as an extension inside the SearchWP interface, so it fits into a setup you already have.

The shortcodes connect to the search engine you have configured, so results follow the same algorithm across the site. You can show results with excerpts, links and metadata, split long lists into pages, and offer live Ajax suggestions as visitors type. Relevance and weighting can be tuned through shortcode parameters. That suits store catalogs, knowledge bases and content-heavy sites alike.

Features

• Search form shortcodes: Embed customizable search forms anywhere on your site, so visitors can start a search from the page where they already are.
• Search results shortcodes: Display results with excerpts, links and metadata on any page, giving you control over where and how results appear.
• Pagination for results: Split large result sets into pages with shortcode-enabled pagination, which keeps long lists easier to read and browse.
• Live Ajax search autofill: Show relevant suggestions while visitors type, which cuts down the effort needed to reach the right result.
• Works with any search engine: Connect the search algorithm you prefer to the shortcodes so search behaves the same way across the whole site.
• Algorithm settings in shortcodes: Adjust search relevance and weighting through shortcode parameters to match the content and goals of your site.
• No theme or template editing: Add or change search features without touching code or modifying your WordPress theme, which keeps the job approachable for beginners.
• Activated from SearchWP: Turn on the extension from the SearchWP interface, so it is ready to use as soon as you enable it.
