<h4>Display WordPress search results like Google!</h4>
<p>This WordPress plugin installs a set of <strong>new template functions</strong> that lets you customize the way search results are displayed in your WordPress search page.<br />
You can use on-the-fly generated Google-style text <strong>snippets</strong> to help make search result abstracts more useful.<br />
You can do on-the-fly hit-highlighting (in-line xml-based, not through a cumbersome asynchronous Javascript).<br />
Your customized search result snippets being included in the delivered page content, they can be indexed by third-party web search engines.</p>
<p>The CSS styling of snippet results is compatible with Google custom search engine stylesheets for complete integration.</p>
<p>The design of the search result display is highly customizable through the plugin’s settings page: you can set-up if and how the snippet’s date is displayed (localized date display is supported).<br />
You can choose the abstract/snippet length and the way highlighted search hits are rendered.</p>
<p>For an example of what it can look like, look here: http://www.nogent-citoyen.com/recherche/tour+eiffel (in this example, the left columns displays WordPress-generated results using this plugin, while the right column displays asynchronous Google custom search engine results)</p>
<h4>Check-out what your visitors are searching for!</h4>
<p>The plugin installs a new dashboard (admin panel widget) which shows you in real time what your users are searching for on your blog (top-search listing, basic search statistics).<br />
It implements search logging, search statistics, and gives you a <strong>most-searched widget</strong> and template function to display the <strong>list of top-searches</strong>.<br />
The <strong>most frequently searched listing</strong> is manageable in your admin panel: you can choose to reset counters for any search expression, or ban that expression from being listed.<br />
Most spiders and spam-robots are filtered-out of the search counter to prevent search link-spamming.</p>
<p>The plugin has its own admin options/settings page.</p>
<p>It is <strong>fully internationalized</strong>. The search functions are UTF-8 multibyte compatible and do take care of accentuated text.<br />
The date display supports localization issues.</p>
<p>Base package includes .pot file for translation of the interface, and English and French versions.</p>
<p><strong>NB: although already fully functional, this plugin is still in active development stage, and new features are added on a regular basis to help further improve search-result customization and display.</strong></p>
<h4>Available template functions</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Use <code><?php echo yd_search_snippet() ?></code> in your search results page template loop (<code>search.php</code>).<br />
For example, in your search template theme file (<code>search.php</code>), find the place where it says <code>the_content()</code> and replace it like this:</p>
<pre><code><?php if( function_exists( 'yd_search_snippet' ) ) yd_search_snippet() ?>
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>Use <code><?php echo yd_most_searched() ?></code> anywhere in any page template.<br />
For example, in your home page template theme file (<code>index.php</code>), insert something like this:</p>
<pre><code><?php if( function_exists( 'yd_most_searched' ) ) yd_most_searched() ?>
</code></pre>
</li>
</ul>

<h4>Description en Français :</h4>
<p>Ce plug-in WordPress installe des fonctions avancées d’affichage des résultats de recherche.<br />
Vous pouvez notamment l’utiliser pour afficher des extraits de texte intelligents dans vos résultats (“snippets” à la Google).<br />
Il n’extraira que les passages du texte contenant les mots-clés et expressions recherchés.<br />
Il pourra également surligner dans le texte les expressions et mots recherchés.<br />
La fonction de surlignage se fait en ligne dans le flux XML et non en mode asynchrone avec un Javascript lent et lourd.<br />
Les snippets et les mots surlignés faisant partie du texte de vos pages de résultats de recherche, ils peuvent eux-même être indéxés par les moteurs de recherche externes du web, donnant de la valeur originale à vos pages de résultats.</p>
<p>Par ailleurs, ce plugin active l’enregistrement des recherches effectuées par les visiteurs sur votre site,<br />
et vous remonte au niveau de votre interface d’administration la liste des recherches les plus fréquentes.</p>
<p>Une fonction de template et/ou un widget vous permettent d’afficher la liste des recherches les plus courantes pour vos visiteurs.</p>
<p>Le style CSS généré pour les résultats de recherche est compatible avec les feuilles de styles utilisées par le moteur de recherche Google custom pour une intégration parfaite (voir exemple ci-dessous).</p>
<p>Le plugin a sa propre page d’option dans l’administration.<br />
Il est entièrement internationalisé.</p>
<p>La distribution standard inclut le fichier de traduction .pot et les versions française et anglaise.</p>
<p>Le plugin peut fonctionner avec n’importe quelle langue ou jeu de caractères.<br />
Les fonctions de recherche et de surlignage gèrent les caractères français accentués de façon intelligente.<br />
Elles sont compatibles utf-8 multibyte.</p>
<p>Pour voir un exemple du fonctionnement de ce plug-in en grandeur nature, regardez ici : http://www.nogent-citoyen.com/recherche/pavillon+baltard<br />
(dans cet exemple, la colonne de gauche affiche des résultats WordPress générés avec ce plug-in alors que la colonne de droite affiche des résultats de l’API du moteur de recherche Google custom)</p>
