<p>Bring a REAL search engine into your WordPress website in 5 minutes, for free!</p>
<p>Smart Search enhances the WordPress search engine by querying Microsoft BING and its Search API.<br />
The search query is performed in the context of your website url, just like you would type the following search query on BING:</p>
<pre><code>site:http://www.yourblog.com find this and that in New York
</code></pre>
<h4>Brief</h4>
<p>URLs from the BING result set are converted by Smart Search to WordPress post IDs, thus the display process is the same your theme implements for regular searches.<br />
Search results come from <strong>Microsoft BING</strong>. This means <strong>semantics and relevance</strong> on board!!</p>
<p>You can also choose to cache the search engine’s results for a defined period of time, which basically means that your site will load a little bit faster if the same search query is used.</p>
<p>In order to use it, you must have a valid <a href="https://datamarket.azure.com/account/keys" title="Create Windows Account key" rel="nofollow ugc">Windows Account key</a> and you will need to activate at least the <a href="https://datamarket.azure.com/dataset/8818F55E-2FE5-4CE3-A617-0B8BA8419F65" title="BING Search API | Web Results only plan" rel="nofollow ugc">free subscription here</a> or <a href="https://datamarket.azure.com/dataset/bing/search" title="Activate your Bing Search API plan" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a></p>
<p>Easy, simple and fast!<br />
