It provides a smooth interactive experience with immediate results for your site's visitors, making it easier and more efficient to find the right results. It provides instant **live search results** where found in posts and pages, allows to enhance the standard search form with this functionality, provides a flexible shortcode `[search_live]` that can be placed anywhere to provide an interactive search form and a widget for use in sidebars. - Instant search results replace the standard WordPress search form. This is enabled by default but you can turn it off. - You can use the **shortcode** `[search_live]` to place a search form anywhere. - You can use the *Search Live* **widget** in your sidebars. *Search Live* can show instant search results including thumbnails and short descriptions or manual excerpts. Among other useful options, you can determine the number of results shown and whether to search in any combination of titles, excerpts or contents. These can be determined individually for each instance of *Search Live's* shortcode or widget. *Search Live* only supplies results from posts and pages. We're working on an extended version that supports custom post types and taxonomies. ### Feedback ### Feedback is welcome!
