 * what commands are there for wordpress search? my blog is limited to display 7
   posts, i’d like to show more posts when the user is searching my blog.
 * as i’ve created a mozilla search plugin for my blog, i need to know if i can 
   tweak my search, like increasing the number of results and highlight search queries.
   is this possible through a php command in search?
