<h3>Customization</h3>
<p>You may make a few customizations to how the plugin looks and behaves.  To make these customizations, you will need to be able to write to the multisite-global-search directory.</p>
<p><strong>Adding Behavior Customizations</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Make a file in the multisite-global-search directory called “config_local.php”.</li>
<li>See the file called “config.php” for the list of items you may customize.  The file contains documentation for each of them.</li>
<li>Copy the lines containing variables you wish to change to config_local.php and alter them as desired.  Take care to retain formatting, for example, the line-ending semicolon.</li>
<li>Make a backup copy of your config_local.php that is stored outside your WordPress installation!</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Adding Look and Feel Customizations</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Make a file in the multisite-global-search directory called “customstyle.css”.</li>
<li>Add your style alterations to this file.  It will be loaded after the default style.css.</li>
<li>Make a backup copy of your customstyle.css that is stored outside your WordPress installation!</li>
</ol>
