 » Groups search results
by post type (post, page) » Allows to limit the number of elements in the dynamic

**Search in Place** improves blog search by displaying query results in real time.
Search in place displays a list with results dynamically as you enter the search
criteria.

**Search in Place** groups search results by their type, labeling them as post, 
page or the post type entered, and highlights the searched terms in search page 
and resulting pages. Search in Place advanced allows to search in metadata and author
display name too.

**More about the Main Features:**

 * Performs **real time search** as you enter search criteria;
 * Use a friendly AJAX technology for searching;
 * Groups search results **by post type** (post, page);
 * Allows to **limit the number of elements** in the dynamic search results;
 * Allows to customize the **box colors**;
 * Allows **highlight** the criteria for searching in results;
 * Offers a different navigation option on the website.

The plugin converts the website’s search boxes into search in places. Furthermore,
the plugin allows to insert additional search boxes using the shortcode:

    ```
        [search-in-place-form]
    ```

For searching in the current page only, insert the shortcode with the **in_current_page**
attribute:

    ```
        [search-in-place-form in_current_page="1"]
    ```

For inserting the shortcode in the website’s pages it is possible to use the specific
integrations with the editors: Gutenberg, Elementor, or the widget for Page Builder
by SiteOrigin. For the other editors, insert the shortcode.

Frequently, while performing a search in a blog with terms we think are present 
in the blog’s pages and posts, after various search attempts and a slow/tedious 
process of page reloads, we feel frustration because we haven’t found the page/post
being searched for. With Search in Place the search process is easier and seamless.
The Search in Place makes the post search in real time, allowing the correction 
of the search criteria without reloading the website (The basic version of “Search
in Place” makes the search in posts and pages).

The plugin transforms all search boxes in the website into search in place boxes,
furthermore, the plugin includes a shortcode allowing to insert additional “search
boxes”, or “search in current page boxes”.

   to the post, page or custom post type;

   Jigoshop**, **Ready! Ecommerce Shopping Cart** and more;

I'm not one to leave reviews but I love this plugin. It's EASY to setup, has some
options to customize it, but most of all I LOVE that you can search within a page
and clicking on a drop down result will take to you the highlighted result on the
page. It is exactly what I was looking for. Most search plugins take you to a new
page that displays your search results and then takes you to the page with the result
you click on but then you have to look through the page to find the result. This
plugin keeps it all on the same page and takes you to the spot on the page with 
the result. It's like an amped up and professional looking ctrl + F search within
the page. Really great for a help center, knowledge base, or extended FAQ. Well 
done!

I use this plugin on my website. I like how it makes a list of answers with a short
sentence containing what is being searched for.
