Well, it was a long run, ok, only 24 hours when Mr. Seidel’s announced that he would pull the plug on further updates to the cforms plugin.

But after consideration and many emails, he has released a update to a GPL compliant version of his plugin: 10.2.

Most all WordPress theme’s use a a simple search form to search your site. But what it you wanted to search your whole site and not just your posts.

Search Unleashed comes into the picture. Search Unleashed performs searches across all data, including that added by plugins.

Some features of this plugin are:

• Full text search with wildcards and logical operations
• Search posts, pages, comments, titles, URLs, tags, and meta-data (all configurable)
• Search data after it has been processed by plugins, not before
• Search highlighting of all searches, including titles and comments
• Search highlighting of incoming searches from Google, Yahoo, MSN, Altavista, Baidu, and Sogou
• Search results show contextual search information, not just a post excerpt
• Record search phrases and display in a log
• Exclude specific posts and pages from results
• Compatible with WP-Cache
• Supports WordPress 2.0.5 through to 2.7
• No changes required to your theme
