Plenty of search plugins have one opinion about what a results page should look like, and installing them means accepting it. If you have spent a day building a search template that matches the rest of your site, that is a bad trade.
Fetchie is built the other way round.
The default path
Do nothing and Fetchie takes over the native search results page, the one your theme renders when someone uses the search box in your header. Ranked results, highlighted snippets and deep links, styled to sit reasonably in most themes.
For a lot of sites that is the whole job.
When you have your own template
If your page builder has a search results template assigned, Fetchie detects it and steps back. Your template renders, your design is intact, and nothing is silently overridden.
To get the ranked results into that layout, drop in the results shortcode wherever you want them to appear:
Your header, your hero, your sidebar and your footer stay exactly as you built them. The results block is the only part Fetchie owns.
Turning parts on and off
The results block can carry a heading, a result count and a search form. All three are off by default, because a builder template usually supplies its own and duplicating them looks like a bug.
Switch on whichever ones your layout does not already provide:
There is a separate search form shortcode too, for putting a Fetchie-powered search box somewhere other than the results page.
Why it is built this way
The people most likely to want better search are the people who have already invested in how their site looks. Handing them a results page that ignores their design in exchange for better ranking is asking them to choose between two things they should not have to choose between.
Yielding to an existing template costs nothing and means Fetchie is an upgrade to your search rather than a replacement for your work.
