The only thing missing for me at this point is actually leading to a results page after hitting enter. Right now this search ONLY has five live results. Hoping they will add a few more options at some point but so far so good! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/757919d69619a77ccf097daebad48b894086974905c831becfd3b425d5764e45? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Awesome plugin!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-plugin-7413/)󠁿 [justgert](https://profiles.wordpress.org/justgert/) آقوست 12, 2025 So glad we found this plugin.
