Plugin Description:

This plugin allows you to search for tags (keywords) and words. It uses an automatically created index and orders the results by relevancy (number of occurences, title is more important than content, etc.).

Each result entry includes the title, the language (if used together with the I18N plugin), the date and an excerpt of the page. It can be styled with CSS or the results can be retrieved as array, in which case you are responsible for creating the HTML.

Also included is a function to display all tags with a size proportional to their relative number of uses and a search form.

To display search form and search results on a page, include the following text:

 (% searchform %)
 (% searchresults %)

To additionally display a search form in the template which will call above page (let's assume it's URL is 'search'), use:

 <?php get_search_form(array('slug'=>'search', 'showTags'=>0)); ?>

You can use the plugin for news or blog, see News & Blogs.

More information on the configuration page of the plugin.
