Overview
Plugin gives you the ability to create an unlimited number of search form instances.
Each instance is fully independent and has its own unique id that will be needed to display search form via shortcode or widget.
Think about each instance as a fully independent search form with its own set of settings.
Different search form instances
Each search form can have its own unique styles and layout.
Search from 1
Search from 2
Also search results for each of such search forms can also be different: they can have unique styles, data to display and, of course, different search results depending on specified search results filters for each of the instances.
Search results for search form 1
Search results for search form 2
