This straight forward, easy-to-use module gives you great control over your search results without having to add PHP scripts to your templates, modify the EE core files, or use the SQL query tags. This is a great investment if you want to quickly group, filter, and sort your search result sets with more control than the built-in results tags. You also get new abilities to control how excerpts are rendered (length, XHTML, auto truncation strings, "read more" custom strings). All this and great support too!

Available now is the latest release of our custom Search module: Search Results 1.3 for EE 2.x environments. Our updated module is easy-to-use and gives you greater control over your search results without having to add PHP scripts to your templates, modify the EE core files, or use the SQL query tags. Based on customer feedback, we enhanced Search to give web designers more control over the way search result sets are rendered in EE templates. This added functionality gives you better returned results than the standard built-in function. Give it a try as we know you will like what you see:
