Search a single page

    We have a page where links and keywords for all our club’s past newsletters are posted. I would like to add a search feature for that single page so people can search the keywords for the newsletters. A lot of people using this site are not computer savy so I don’t want the search to pull information from any other page except this one with the newsletter information. Here’s the page I’m referring to.
    http://wcfs.org/resources/archives/

    Any suggestions? This question has actually been asked a couple of times before in this forum but got no replies except for, “Why would you want to do that?” I’m hoping someone out there has a better answer.

    Thanks for your help!

    You can create a custom search form and/or target what you desire to search for. Here is a good write up the topic:

    Thanks for the suggestion. I saw that you could customize the types of words, etc, but I didn’t see clearly where you could limit the page it searches on. This might be a little over my head too as I couldn’t even find where I could look at the WP_Query list that the article was referring too. I do know some code, but I’m trying to keep this as simple as I can so I can pass the responsibility of maintaining the website to others as this is a non-profit club website.

    Thanks!
