+If you don't want to depend on Google or DuckDuckGo to implement search for you,
+or just want it to work even if you are offline, enable this plugin and the
+search will be performed client side. It uses [Tipue Search](http://www.tipue.com/search/) as its engine.
+
+In ordrer to set up Tipue, you will need:
+
+ * the sample config from `conf.py.sample` and a page set up to render `localsearch.tmpl` (which you may customize) —
+   an example is in `search-EXAMPLE.html`
+ * or the alternate sample config from `conf.py.sample.alt`, which uses a modal
+   and does not need another page
+
+For more information about how to customize it and use it, please refer to the Tipue
+docs at http://www.tipue.com/search/
