README file for the AdvancedSearch Lite plugin
**********************************************

The AdvancedSearch Lite plugin provides an enhanced search form for WordPress
with support for boolean operators. It uses MySQL's fulltext search feature. It
acts as drop-in replacement for the legacy WordPress search.

plugins description page with the most current info).


INSTALLATION

To take advantage of the FULLTEXT search with booleans support:
- Unpack and upload the folder advancedsearch-lite to your plugins directory
- Activate the plugin, now the default search is replaced with the
  AdvancedSearch engine

To have a nice form with some more features on your sidebar:
- add the following to your sidebar where you want the form to appear:
  <?php if ( function_exists('asl_form') ) echo asl_form(); ?>
- take the contents of the file asl.css and add them to your main CSS (of course
  you may change the CSS as you wish)
- the function asl_form() has some paramteters to modify the displaying of
  certain elements (see plugin file for more)
