Extend Search Block


I really needed a way to create a search block for a knowledge base custom post type using the full site editor. The thing is, the default search didn't have a way to force it to only use the knowledge base, and instead searched everything. I didn't want that.



This plugin allowed me to configure the search bar to only search for things in the knowledge base, which was exactly what I needed.



I have a minor suggestion, but it wasn't a big deal for me - it would be nice if the block used core's button block instead of the button it uses. I think this would align better with the theme's design, and probably give more options on what the search button looks like. A minor suggestion though, since the customization options were flexible enough that I was able to make the button match my theme without much trouble.



Great job, and thank you so much!
