 * Hiya everyone,
 * I’m wondering if anybody can help, show or point me in the right direction for
   adding a search bar to our website.
 * At the moment when you type for something on the website (say red socks) it goes
   to a whole host of posts and pages that mention anything to do with red socks
   but i want it to go to a specific page how would i do this? plus be able to change
   where the search bar sits on the website?
 * Hopefully someone can help 🙂
 * Thanks!
    Mandy.

 * There is a search bar widget in ‘Appearance’ -> ‘widgets’ so you can place it
   anywhere your theme supports widgets.
 * As far as modifying the search to display a specific page you set for the keyword,
   it will take a lot of coding to get this working right. You’d need to consider
   multiple spellings and variants as well, eg,
 * Searching ‘red socks’ should also include:
    redsocks red sock redsock Red Socks
   RED SOCKS socks that are red socks red … the list goes on.
