 * We have a standard, out-of-the-box installation of WooCommerce to test if it 
   will be suitable for our purposes. We haven’t yet looked at setting a theme, 
   and we are WordPress newbies. We are missing a search function for the visitors,
   so we have installed the Advanced Woo Search plugin.
 * We have re-indexed the table and turned on Seamless Integration, but no search
   field is showing up on the default shop page. So we read the documentation and
   decided to try the Shortcode solution. However, the documentation says: “Shortcode
   for each search form instance you can find at the top of each settings page.”
   
   But this is not displayed anywhere on our settings pages? And the screenshots
   in the documentaion seems to show another version than what we are using.
 * So, is the documentation out-dated, or are we missing something basic?
 * Thanks in advance,
   /Thomas in Sweden

 * Hi,
   That point about shortcode inside each settings page is more about the pro
   plugin version. If you are using a free plugin version – just use aws_search_form
   shortcode or AWS search form built-in widget.Regards
