Simply add one of these shortcodes to any page or post:
* [floinfo38_search] for general search
* [floinfo38_search_posts] for posts only

What is the minimum search length?

The search requires at least 3 characters to avoid performance issues and provide relevant results.

Can I exclude certain pages from search results?

Yes! Go to Settings -> FloInfo38 ST and check the pages you want to exclude from search results.

Does it work with custom post types?

Currently, the plugin supports standard WordPress pages and posts. Custom post type support may be added in future versions.

Results are then sorted by total score, with pages optionally prioritized.
