+
+PREREQUISITES
+=============
+Search module (Drupal core).
+
+INSTALLATION
+============
+Standard module installation.
+
+See https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/extending-drupal/installing-contributed-modules for further information.
+
+CONFIGURATION
+=============
+
+After installing the module, navigate to the module page located in admin/config/search/pages/. You can basically see
+two configuration options: Labels and string overrides and Additional node search configuration. The labels and string
+overrides is to configure the field labels. You have options to alter the field titles of the basic and advanced search
+forms. You also have the liberty to specify the relative position of the field title. It can be above the field (the
+default format), below the field or in the hidden state.
+Additional node search configuration configures the additional features and make this module more lively. Once you
+select the additional node search configuration option, you have the options to deal with form control, removing
+... keyword options, selecting the roles who can see the fields, replacing type option with custom type groups and
+setting the pager limit.
+Form control allows you to configure the search form in such a way that only one form is displayed at a given instant.
+This is achieved by selecting the checkbox 'Only show one form at a time.' in the form control. Another option is to
+move the basic keyword search to advanced search form. You can also select the roles who can view particular fieldset.
+There are basically three types of roles; Anonymous user, Authenticated user and the Administrator. You could set the
+privileges from this search configuration tool.
+You can also replace the type option available with custom type groups. i.e, you can search based on content types of
+your choice. This is done by adding the required content type in the field 'Replace type options with custom type
+groups'.
+You could also configure the maximum number of results to be displayed in a page. You can select the value of your
+choice from the drop down menu of 'Pager limit' in the results section.
