Please feel free to donate if you like my plugin, it will help me feed my dogs and inspire me to add more functionality.</p>
<p>// Rest of your readme.txt file…</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Here’s how it works:</p>
<p>You’ll find the plugin under the WordPress Settings menu.</p>
<p>Click on the plugin in the settings menu, and a user screen will appear where you can select (via dropdowns) either a single article or an article category target.</p>
<p>Next, you can select whether or not to include a link to your selected pillar post or page. If you choose Yes, select your preferred pillar post or page from the dropdown.</p>
<p>When you click the button to proceed, the plugin works as follows after selecting either a single article or a category.</p>
<p>a)The plugin will retrieve all the articles in the same category as either the single article you selected or the category you selected.<br />
b)The plugin will randomly select 6 articles in the same category and create an HTML heading and list of linked titles. It then adds this list to either the end of the single article or performs the same action on all articles in the category selected.<br />
c)If you selected Yes for pillar content, and you’ve selected the target post or page as the pillar, the plugin will proceed to add the title of your selected post or page as a bolded first item of the links list.</p>

<p>Better Internal Link Search improves the default internal link searching feature in a number of ways, making it faster and easier to find the content you want to link up.</p>
<p>The most basic feature limits results to posts and pages that contain your search term in the title, rather than returning every post that contains the term in the title <em>or content field</em> — this greatly reduces the number of results on sites with a lot of content and should improve accuracy.</p>
<p>Beyond that simple change are more powerful features that can be customized for your particular site, including creating shortcuts for often-used links and even searching external sites without leaving WordPress!</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Search by post or page title when adding links to the editor or adding pages to a nav menu.</li>
<li>Includes terms from any taxonomy in the search results so you can easily link to term archives.</li>
<li>Scheduled posts are included in search results.</li>
<li>Text highlighted in the editor when opening the internal link popup is searched for automatically.</li>
<li>Adds a shortcut for quickly linking to the homepage. Just type ‘home’.</li>
<li>Provides the ability to create custom shortcuts with a little code.</li>
<li>Powerful modifiers included for searching additional data sources to make linking fast and easy (Wikipedia, GitHub, iTunes, Spotify, Codex).</li>
<li>Extendable so developers can add their own sources.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Typeahead Search</h3>
<p>Instantly see search results for pages, posts, media items or other custom post types on their Manage Posts screens. As soon as you start typing in the search field, the table instantly updates with results for whichever post type you’re viewing. Pressing enter or clicking the search button will continue to return posts using the default search algorithm (post titles and content).</p>
