This extension provides Shortcodes that generate both search forms and results pages for SearchWP search engines. It’s useful if you’re not comfortable (or able) to edit theme files directly to implement your search form(s) and results loops.
After activating Shortcodes, the following will be available to you:

searchwp_search_results Outputs the list of search results once a search has been submitted |
engine — Search engine name (Default is default )posts_per_page — How many posts per page to display Note that this is not a self-closing Shortcode, the markup for each search result should be nested inside, see sample below for examplevar — The search query variable name (Default is swpquery ) |
searchwp_search_result_link Outputs a link to the current search result |

Here is a sample of a comprehensive implementation of Shortcodes that searches a supplemental engine with a name of my_test_engine
:
<h3>Search Form</h3> | |
[searchwp_search_form engine="my_test_engine" target="http://example.com/supplemental-search/" var="searchvar" button_text="Find Results"] | |
<div class="search-results-wrapper"> | |
Total Results: [searchwp_total_results engine="my_test_engine" var="searchvar"] | |
[searchwp_search_results engine="my_test_engine" var="searchvar" posts_per_page=2] | |
<h2>[searchwp_search_result_link direct="true"]</h2> | |
[searchwp_search_result_excerpt] | |
[/searchwp_search_results] | |
</div> | |
<div class="no-search-results-found"> | |
[searchwp_search_results_none] | |
No results found, please search again. | |
[/searchwp_search_results_none] | |
</div> | |
<div class="search-results-pagination"> | |
[searchwp_search_results_pagination direction="prev" link_text="Previous" var="searchvar" engine="my_test_engine"] | |
[searchwp_search_results_pagination direction="next" link_text="Next" var="searchvar" engine="my_test_engine"] | |
