Bring a REAL search engine into your WordPress website in 5 minutes, for free!
Smart Search enhances the WordPress search engine by querying Microsoft BING and its Search API. 
The search query is performed in the context of your website url, just like you would type the following search query on BING:
<pre><code>site:http://www.yourblog.com find this and that in New York
</code></pre>
<h4>Brief</h4>
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. 
Search results come from Microsoft BING. This means semantics and relevance on board!!
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.
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>
Easy, simple and fast!

Smart Search Engine

Smart Search replaces the native WordPress search engine by giving relevance to what matters. Results are displayed according to your current theme.

Results-Count is a very simple plugin that does exactly what it says on the tin & will count the number of posts that result from operations in WordPress such as a search, viewing a category, or viewing a monthly archive etc. 
The purpose of the plugin is to allow you to insert text at the top of your archive & search results pages saying something like: results: 1-10 of 43. It serves the dual purpose of showing the number of results, as well as showing what page you are currently on within those results.
For an example of the plugin in use, look at the top of any of the archive or category pages at: 
http://www.elginism.com/ e.g. http://www.elginism.com/archives/acropolis/
