<p>Run advanced searches via the WordPress REST API and SearchWP.</p>
<p>Adds an endpoint to the WordPress REST API for searching via <a href="https://searchwp.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">SearchWP</a> — the best tool for improving the usefulness and performance of WordPress search.</p>
<p>This plugin is a free plugin by <a href="https://CalderaWP.com" rel="nofollow ugc">CalderaWP</a>. It is not an official add-on for SearchWP.</p>
<ul>
<li>Requires WordPress REST API (WP-API) 2.0-beta9 or later or WordPress 4.4 or later.</li>
<li>Requires SearchWP Version 2.6 or later</li>
</ul>
<p>Technically will work without SearchWP, but queries will run through WP_Query.</p>
<h3>Example Queries</h3>
<p>For a complete list of possible queries, see: <a href="https://calderawp.com/doc/searchwp-api-queries/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://calderawp.com/doc/searchwp-api-queries/</a><br />
* <code>wp-json/swp_api/search?s=jedi&egnine=star-wars</code><br />
* <code>wp-json/swp_api/search?&tax_query[field]=slug&tax_query[taxonomy]=categories&tax_query[terms]=1</code><br />
* <code>wp-json/swp_api/search?meta_query[key]=jedi&meta_query[value]=luke&tax_query[compare]=IN</code></p>
<h3>Does It Work With Version 1 of The REST API?</h3>
<p>No, it does not.</p>
<h3>I Installed It And Nothing Happened</h3>
<p>You are probably using version 1 of the REST API, or have not updated SearchWP past 2.6.</p>
<h3>How Shiny Is This Plugin?</h3>
<p>Very shiny.</p>
<h3>Version 1.1.0 – January, 2015</h3>
<ul>
<li>Complex meta queries</li>
<li>Fallback to WP_Query if not possible to use SearchWP</li>
</ul>
<h3>Version 1.0.0 – July 6, 2015</h3>
<p>Initial release</p>
