<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>

<p>If you would like to have a little more nice permalinks to your custom post types articles with custom permalinks – this plugin can help you with this.<br />
If the term has the same slug as the post type, then the taxonomy has the priority over the post type.</p>
<p>Now I will show some examples:</p>
<p>(Custom taxonomy:)</p>
<h4>From:</h4>
<p>site.com/taxonomy/cars</p>
<h4>To:</h4>
<p>site.com/cars</p>
<p>(Custom taxonomy with child taxonomies)</p>
<h4>From:</h4>
<p>site.com/taxonomy/cars/bmw</p>
<h4>To:</h4>
<p>site.com/cars/bmw</p>
<p>(Term slug is the same as the post type slug:)</p>
<h4>From:</h4>
<p>(Post Type:) site.com/cars/<br />
(Term from Taxonomy:) site.com/taxonomy/cars/<br />
(Subterm from Taxonomy:) site.com/taxonomy/cars/bmw</p>
<h4>To:</h4>
<p>(Post Type:) site.com/cars/ (will not show)<br />
(Term from Taxonomy:) site.com/cars (will show)<br />
(Subterm from Taxonomy:) site.com/cars/bmw (will show)</p>


Remove Taxonomy Base Slug

I needed to make categories and a custom taxonomy called "Industry" have no slug. But some other taxonomies needed to keep them. I wasn't sure if this would affect all taxonomies, but it has an option page to select them.
Simple enough, seems to work just fine!



Works, and lets you choose

the plugin has not been updated for a long time, but it still works fine. Thanks

Great

This plugin can remove specific taxonomy base slug from your permalinks (e.g. "/genre/fiction/" to "/fiction/").
