Getting started

This article will cover how to create your first search instance and place it on your page, sidebar or theme.

Creating a search instance

By clicking on the newly visible Ajax Search Pro menu item on your backend, you will be redirected to a page with a form visible. There you can create your first search instance.

After creation the search is already usable. You can skip the configuration if you want to. (you probably won't though)

Placing the search form on your site

After creating your first search instance, it's already ready to use - but of course you can customize it to your liking.

There are couple of possible ways to put your search instance to your front end:

1. Automatically replace your current search (some themes might not support that)

2. Using the search shortcodes

3. Using the search widget

4. Using the search as menu item

5. Using the Post editor or the WPBakery Builder (Visual Composer) plugin
