Herbie Simplesearch Plugin
==========================

[](#herbie-simplesearch-plugin)

Simplesearch is a [Herbie](http://github.com/getherbie) plugin that allows you to provide your website with a simple but useful search engine.

```

After that, the plugin can be activated in the configuration file.

    'enabledPlugins' => 'simplesearch',
    'plugins' => [
        'simplesearch' => [
            'config' => [
                // path to twig form template
                'formTemplate' => '@plugin/simplesearch/templates/form.twig',
                // path to twig results template
                'resultsTemplate' => '@plugin/simplesearch/templates/results.twig',
                // use page cahe if global caching is enabled

```
