Search Results Widget

The Search Results Widget is a search results page with JavaScript code. It appears in WordPress admin panel > Pages. The page can’t be deleted before the plugin is deactivated. Every time Searchanise finishes the indexation, it refreshes the content of the page.

Important Info

The Search Results Widget is disabled by default. You can enable it in the Searchanise control panel > Search & Navigation > Search results widget section.

You can customize the look and feel of the widget by playing with the color settings and applying Custom CSS. Here you learn how to do so.

The Search Results Widget contains filters. They are based on:
