 * The plugin does not add one; that’s the responsibility of your theme. The plugin
   only silently makes the default WordPress search on your site better.
 * There are lots of places with instructions on how to add a search form on your
   site. [Here’s a comprehensive one](https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-search-form-in-your-post-with-a-wordpress-search-shortcode/),
   for example. Any basic WordPress search form is compatible with Relevanssi Light.
