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.

This will give you an advanced pagination to distribute your link-juice more evenly across your paginated paged. It also provides a better choice of navigation to the user to explore and find your content.
You can turn the pagination on/off separately for:
<ul>
<li>homepage</li>
<li>search results</li>
<li>category archives</li>
<li>date archives</li>
<li>tag archives</li>
<li>author archives</li>
</ul>
Or implement it directly into your theme using <code><?php the_wp_lopa('pages_below'); ?></code>.
You can also choose if you want it to be displayed before and/or after the loop content.
The plugin is currently available in English and German. If you want to help translate it, just write me an email. Help is much appreciated!
