Set which post types, how many results, and customize the display format of the results. Lots of unique CSS classes included for full custom styling! This plugin was created as a way to help customers find documentation articles before submitting a support ticket. The goal is to reduce the number of support tickets submitted by helping customers find and answer themselves. Maybe you can find other uses as well!

I was looking for a solution like this on the gravity form, but I couldn’t find it on the web. I’m confident that help tickets can be sent less often by customers. Thank you very much. Suggested fix: I’m using v0.2. When you add a one-line text field in the management screen, the same field option as the search field, that is, “Select Custom Post Type (s)” is displayed. Searching in the front end of a one-line text field doesn’t work, so I think it’s better to remove this option.
