## Description

This plugin requires Bootstrap, and makes use of the Bootstrap Datepicker at https://
eternicode.github.io/bootstrap-datepicker/.

This plugin creates a search area above comments on any post or page. Here, users
can choose to enter a search term, enter a date range, or select an option of the
recent past (Today, This Week, This Month) from a dropdown. They can also combine
these options to search for terms within a certain time period. Please note, a selected“
recent past” option will override a date range entered by the user.

The search uses AJAX to query your database for matching comments, and returns all
of the relevant results in the comment area.

A term search searches both author names and comment content.

## FAQ

#### It doesn’t look right, and it’s not working?

Do you have Bootstrap installed and loading correctly? If not, head to https://getbootstrap.
com/.

#### Can I search only by date range?

Yes, you can search by any combination of search term and date range.

#### Why isn’t my custom date range isn’t returning the right results?

Most likely, you have an option selected from the options for the recent past (Today,
This Week, This Month). These will automatically override the custom date range 
you entered in.
