+
+PREREQUISITES
+=============
+
+Search module (Drupal core).
+
+INSTALLATION
+============
+
+Standard module installation.
+
+See https://www.drupal.org/docs/7/extending-drupal/overview for further information.
+
+CONFIGURATION
+============
+
+* Form Appearance
+
+  Navigate to Administration » Configuration » Search pages »
+
+  "Labels and string overrides" fieldset
+
+  This section allows you to configure the field labels. Options include:
+    - alter the field titles of the basic and advanced search forms
+    - title position. These can be positioned above (default), below or hidden
+
+  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 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.
+
+* Configure user permissions
+
+  Navigate to Administration » People » Permissions:
+
+  - Exclude nodes from search results
+
+    This allows users with this permission to flag content as not to be searched.
+
+    You can 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 to be assigned to the various types of users through this search configuration tool.
