Better Search

Replace the default WordPress search with a contextual search with search results sorted by relevance.

If your question isn't listed here, please post a comment at the WordPress.org support forum. I monitor the forums on an ongoing basis. If you're looking for more advanced support, please see details here.

Can I customize the output?

Several customization options are available via the Settings page in WordPress Admin. You can access this via Settings ยป Better Search

The plugin also supports the use of template files within your theme. You can create a file called better-search-template.php in your theme's directory and the plugin will use it to display the results.

Take a look at http://ajaydsouza.com/wordpress/plugins/better-search/bsearch-templates for use of custom templates and template tags supported by Better Search Additionally, I have included a simple template for WordPress Twenty Eleven theme that you can simply drop into the twentyeleven folder

Can you create a search template for my theme?

Yes I can. However, there are no guarantee on the time frame for the same. Additionally, if I am unable to access the theme for testing, e.g. with paid premium themes, I won't be able to create this template.

If you have already created a template that you would like to share with the WordPress Community, you can contact me and I will add it into the package.
