In _**Search** block_ settings sidebar simply choose which post type should the search form look for. You can also choose a taxonomy and a dropdown with the taxonomy terms will be displayed in the search form on your website front-end to further narrow down the search results. _(Note that this plugin only alters WordPress **Search** block, not the PHP [`get\_search\_form()` function](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_search_form/).)_ #### Got a question or suggestion?

Insert _**Search** block_ into your page/post content (or into Site Editor). 2. In the block settings sidebar open the **“Search modifiers”** panel. 3. Tweak the settings to your needs.

The thing is, the default search didn’t have a way to force it to only use the knowledge base, and instead searched everything. I didn’t want that. This plugin allowed me to configure the search bar to only search for things in the knowledge base, which was exactly what I needed. I have a minor suggestion, but it wasn’t a big deal for me – it would be nice if the block used core’s button block instead of the button it uses. I think this would align better with the theme’s design, and probably give more options on what the search button looks like. A minor suggestion though, since the customization options were flexible enough that I was able to make the button match my theme without much trouble. Great job, and thank you so much!
