## Description

This plugin lets you provide the user with search suggestions based on the information
entered in the search field.

It adds an AJAX call to the search form, returning matches for the current search
query from the database.
 There is no change of template files necessary as this
plugin hooks in the existing WordPress API to unfold its magic.

#### Translations

I will be more than happy to update the plugin with new locales, as soon as I receive
them!
 Currently available in:

 * English
 * Deutsch
 * Czech

### Filter Reference

**wpss_search_query_args** (_array|string_)

> The query args, passed to [WP_Query](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query),
> either as an array or a string.
>  An array with the default query args and the 
> current search query are passed to the filter.

**wpss_search_results** (_array_)

> An array with the result strings as values. An array with the default results 
> and the WP_Query object are passed to the filter.

## Installation

 1. Download WP Search Suggest.
 2. Unzip the folder into the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

## FAQ

### The plugin doesn’t work with my theme. What’s wrong?

Make sure your theme’s search input field has an `id="s"` and/or `name="s"` as in
TwentyTen and TwentyEleven. It’ll work fine then.

С плагином интернет-магазина WP Shop работает отлично. Чтобы саджест-поиск не искал
в ненужных типах записей в файл functions.php достаточно включить функцию-фильтр,
в которой настроить WP Search Suggest под себя: `/* * Customize plugin WP Search
Suggest */ function wp_search_suggest_custom($query_args) { $query_args += [ ‘post_type’
=> [‘post’, ‘page’], ‘posts_per_page’ => 10, ]; return $query_args; } add_filter(‘
wpss_search_query_args’, ‘wp_search_suggest_custom’);`

No fiddling with settings required–does exactly what you’d expect straight out of
the box. No less, no more.
