 * Hi,
    I would like to request the following feature to be considered. The search
   function currently is capable of searching the queries only in pages and posts.
   I wish to search the entire site like widgets, pop ups and suck kind of external
   objects that are deployed in the site.
 * Thanks,
    Many regards, Lakshmi Narayanan.G

 * I’m a newbie to WordPress. Can you please help me to find the plugin? A related
   link or a suitable search term would be great.
 * Many Thanks.

 * Thanks esmi.
    But unfortunately these plugins could not help me. They too implement
   the same default wordpress function. They are just different in the way they 
   display the search results.
