Shortcode Search | WordPress Search Bar Shortcode Plugin

Shortcode Search is a simple plugin that lets users add a search bar anywhere on their WordPress website using the shortcode [search].

With this plugin, you can easily insert a search form with customizable placeholder text and button label. The plugin automatically renders a user-friendly search form where users can type in their search queries.

Usage

To display the search form, simply use the [search] shortcode. You can also customize the placeholder text and button label by passing attributes.

Example:
`[search placeholder=”Search for something…” button_text=”Go”]“`

This will display the search form with “Search for something…” as the placeholder text and “Go” as the button text.
