Configuration

2. Configure the search settings based on your preferences, including:
   • Selecting which content types to include in the search.
   • Prioritizing specific fields or content for more accurate results.
   • Adding a custom placeholder, CSS ID, and CSS class for styling and customization.
3. Select the page where you want to display the search results from the available options or create a new one for this purpose.

Usage

To use the smart_search_control shortcode, simply insert the following shortcode into your post, page, or widget and provide an existing id associated with a configured search control. This will display the smart search form on that page.

Example
php
[smart_search_control id="123"]
In this example, 123 should be replaced with the ID of an existing smart search setup. Once added, the corresponding search form will appear on the page and be fully functional.
