NDS Advanced Search
Requires PHP at least: 5.6.0
A WordPress plugin to add an Advanced Search Form with auto-suggest using a shortcode.
The intent is to help developers with a boilerplate search plugin with search suggestions that can be customized for advanced scenarios as shown here https://github.com/nuancedesignstudio/nds-advanced-search-demo.
Description
The plugin adds a custom Search Form using a shortcode on any page.
It provides search suggestions as you type. The results are displayed on the same page using a flexbox container.
The plugin overrides the searchform.php defined by the theme but only on the page where the shortcode is used.
You can control the custom post types to include in the search from Settings-Advanced Search Settings. By default only posts are included.
