FAQs: Search Functionality

With the WordPress FAQs plugin, you would surely want to allow your users to search the FAQs on your site. This is possible and there are two ways of doing this.

1. Control Group Search

When you edit an FAQs group, you can specify whether the group should have a search box or not. If you set this to On, the group will automatically display a search box above the questions in the page.

Additionally, you can also specify whether a groups drop down menu should be displayed so that other FAQs groups in the database can be searched from that search box.

2. Embed a Custom Search Box

There is a shortcode for this which can be typed into the content of any post/page and it is also accessible in the TinMCE editor button from the FAQs plugin. See Embed a Search Box right here in the documentation.
