[wp-hackers] search_query in a plugin

[Dhanushka Samarakoon]

Thanks for the reply :-)

The count that's been returned by get_posts vs $search_query->query is
different. When I echo my original code I get 8 while when I echo your code
I get only 5.
Is there a difference in how these two perform the searches?
