easy control over your search results

Search Results 1.3

Available now is the latest release of our custom Search module: Search Results 1.3 for EE 2.x environments. Our updated module is easy-to-use and gives you greater control over your search results without having to add PHP scripts to your templates, modify the EE core files, or use the SQL query tags. Based on customer feedback, we enhanced Search to give web designers more control over the way search result sets are rendered in EE templates. This added functionality gives you better returned results than the standard built-in function. Give it a try as we know you will like what you see.
