TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners who want visitors to search within specific post categories rather than the whole site. It solves the problem of unfiltered search results by letting admins set a default category and exclude certain categories (with or without their children) from the search widget.

  • Search post category wise
  • Set default category
  • Exclude categories from search
  • Exclude categories with child categories
