 * I use the Quotes Collection plugin to store quotes. One of the features of this
   plugin is that you can create a page with the shortcode of [quote|author=Somebody]
   and it will display the quotes by that author. Well, I’ve created pages with 
   authors and I can use Search Everything to search by an author and it shows the
   content of the page, which is generated by the shortcode. However, if I search
   a term I know is in the quote, nothing comes up. So is it possible to add the
   feature of searching the content generated by shortcodes or content from specific
   plugins like Quotes Collection?

 * I would also like to see the feature where the plugin would search the contents
   of shortcodes.
    eg. shortcodes from this great plugin [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/connections/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/connections/)
 * I was using Search Unleashed, but it has some bugs that are stopping me from 
   using it on all of my sites.

 * Search Everything seems to be maintained much better.
 * If I find time, I will see if I can figure it out myself.
 * Thanks,

 * Hi is there a way to make it so that it sorts by relevance and not date?
