Many new features coming quickly, stay tuned.

Please be advised that this is a beta release and not all features are available yet. We'll be updating the plugin heavily over the coming weeks, so check back for updates. Please let us know if you encounter any bugs, or have any suggestions for improvement.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `wp-ultimate-search` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Add a shortcode to a post, use the template tag in your theme, or use the sidebar widget.

<h4>Shortcode</h4>
During this development period, the shortcode is used in two parts: the search bar, and the search results. Put `[wp-ultimate-search-bar]` where you’d like the search bar, and `[wp-ultimate-search-results]` where you’d like the results to appear. No options (…yet).

<h4>Template tag</h4>
Call the search bar with `wp_ultimate_search_bar()`
Render the search results area with `wp_ultimate_search_results()`

No parameters yet.
