 * Hi,
 * I am using the plugin but it doesn’t return the search results when searched 
   by keyword with selected category, instead it brings search results from all 
   categories within wp posts. I am using child theme so let me know if this problem
   is for child themes or it should work properly with child theme.
 * Thanks

 * Yes, it can work with child theme. When using keyword search, you need to enable
   the **Combine string search with filters above**, however it will restrict the
   search when the keyword and filters are met.
    FYI, keyword only search for post
   title and post content. It will not search through the taxonomy and meta field.
 * Note that keyword are error prone, sometime user might have typo when enter the
   keyword and if this is the case, possible it will return any result.
    Also, keyword
   search have single quote (Apostrophe) ‘`’ issue as well, so be aware of this.
