## Description

REST API Search

### This is only for Version 2 of the REST API Plugin

This adds the missing functionality of Search into the WordPress REST API.
 The 
issue being with the current REST API Version 2, you can only search on a per post_type
basis.

    ```
    /wp-json/wp/v2/posts?filter[s]=apples

    /wp-json/wp/v2/pages?filter[s]=apples
    ```

### What this plugin does.

**Adds the search functionality for all posts types except revisions and types with‘
exclude_from_search’ set to true.**

    ```
    /wp-json/wp/v2/search/apples
    ```

**In case of a multi word string, just replaces the spaces with plus signs.**

    ```
    /wp-json/wp/v2/search/apples+pears
    ```

**Also adds easy paging**

page 2:

    ```
    /wp-json/wp/v2/search/apples+pears/2
    ```

page 3:

    ```
    /wp-json/wp/v2/search/apples+pears/3
    ```

## FAQ

  How do I use this plugin?

This plugin is meant to be used by experienced developers. You can access the search
by going to your WordPress URL, and adding the following to the end of the URL: /
wp-json/wp/v2/search/
 After the search/ you put any keywords you’re searching for,
replaces spaces with plus (+) signs.
