# Search widget or shortcode ?

 * Hi,
    I have just installed Search Everything and it almost does what I have been
   searching for via many failed alternatives. But, because the documentation I’ve
   found doesn’t identify how to produce a search page/shortcode (it seems to depend
   on the standard WP Search Widget), it doesn’t keep the search behind a login 
   and therefore defeats the privacy intended by logging in.
 * Can you advise how to put the search box on a page please – I can then ensure
   searchers are logged in.
    Many Thanks Bob PS Some search results are highlighted
   as expected but several display in a different font colour without highlighting–
   doesn’t concern me but thought you might want to know.

 * Found plugin ‘Search shortcode’ produced a shortcode that can be used on a page
   protected by login.
    All seems to work OK. Regards Bob
