<p>The Purpose: allowing your users to search differently</p>
<p><em>Ajaxed search engines</em> are all over the place ? literally.<br />
Whenever a large amount of items is available, be it houses for rent<br />
or computer spare parts, providing your users with a <strong>fast, structured, faceted search</strong><br />
can be one thousand times more efficient, rather than letting your visitors sink into hundreds of web pages,<br />
hoping they?ll find what they need ? almost by chance.<br />
This tool does not replace or try to extend the build in textual search feature of WordPress;<br />
it aims to provide a quick bootstrap to an ajaxed search engine, demonstrating how easy it can be to turn<br />
your website into a powerful search tool, without installing a huge and bloated code.</p>
<p>It is easy to hack and to extend at your will.<br />
You can read here the  original article about why <a href="http://www.dopewp.com/searchy/" rel="nofollow ugc">Searchy</a> was built.</p>
<h3>Main Features</h3>
<p>Let your users search combining different criterias: Filter  by name, category, tag, or custom field (=1).<br />
Sort results by date, name or custom field (numeric)</p>
<h3>Typical usage</h3>
<p>Searchy is a customizable search engine composed of two elements: the <strong>search filters</strong> – typically a filters column, and the <strong>search results</strong>.</p>
<p>Use the <strong>searchy_filter</strong> shortcode or the <strong>built-in widget</strong> to show the filters column.<br />
Place the  <strong>searchy_results</strong>  shortcode in a WordPress page to show the sort bar and the search results.<br />
Of course those go in square brackets in a chosen Page.<br />
You can place them one after the other, having searchy_filter and searchy_results close,<br />
Or get fancy building your custom layout, placing some <strong>do_shortcode</strong> calls wherever you want.</p>
