This is a unified front-end client to integrate various 3rd-party search services. It is made to enable searching on platforms like Hexo, Ghost, and any general websites that don't already have searching.
This plugin is only a front-end client. You still need to register and configure the services, including create and upload site indexes. For detailed instruction on registration and configuration of these search services, please refer to my series of tutorials:
