## Description

WPS Post Type Search creates a simple search widget that allows users to predefine
the post types they wish to search via checkboxes. This widget adds no additional
styling or javascript to your site leaving you in full control. In the widget settings,
you choose from the public post types that you would like users to be able to search.
If none are selected, the search widget defaults to just posts (and not pages).

## Installation

 1. Upload the entire `wps-post-type-search` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Configure the widget via Appearance > Widgets

## FAQ

  Do you have future plans for this plugin?

None at this time, but here are some ideas

 * On post type archive pages, limit the search to just that archive?
