 * Hi
    Is there a easy way to display the search form inside the theme? instead 
   of using the shortcode?

 * If your theme incorporates widgets you could also use the search widget included
   in the plugin. Adding the shortcode to the post/page, or using the widgets, are
   the easiest ways to implement the search form(s). You _could_ alternatively echo
   the shortcode in the template itself by using do_shortcode.
 * Just throw me a more specific example if this doesn’t help and I’ll try address
   the problem for you.

 * Hi,
 * I successfully installed and activated the plugin. I created a search form also,
   and I also included the widget in my sidebar, but the search box is not showing
   up.
 * When I tried to display the search form using the shortcode, this is the error
   message:
    Error(acps): Unsufficient settings or invalid Post ID
 * Please help.

 * Ok, sounds like you might not have taxonomies or terms set up [correctly] for
   the post type. Are you able to provide more information about taxonomies you 
   are using?

 * Hi,
    I have a question about the do_shortcode use in the header of my theme. 
   Is it possible, do you transcribe the code for this option? Please help me. Thanks.
