Description
SearchWP Shortcodes adds ready-to-use shortcodes for creating SearchWP-powered search forms and results pages in WordPress. Instead of editing theme files to wire up search, you can place these elements directly wherever shortcodes are supported. This is useful for implementors who want accurate SearchWP search behavior with minimal template changes. It also helps when your search UI needs to fit within existing page layouts or content structures, including places where loop output is typically generated.
