# Search include Shortcode

 * I have a site in development that uses shortcodes on a post to keep them current
   with the information related to the plugin. So, each post is simply a shortcode.
   So, when I use the main search engine, it doesn’t find anything that is in the
   results of expanding the shortcode. Basically, only the title is searched. Is
   there a plugin that extend the main search to include the results of shortcodes?
   I’ve spent a lot of time perfecting the search results page to look right, I 
   would hate to start over by adding a different plugin with a new search form 
   and results page.
 * Thanks.
