I will show you how you can add transparent logo or icon watermark using php script on an image(s) and save result image(s). You can align logo or icon using perimeters which are used in imagecopy() php function `` anywhere in wordpress templates. Sometimes client want to get search record from particular categories or taxonomies. i.e. products, custom post types, blogs. You can do this by the following code.

Search records from all

<form method="get" class="search-form" action="<?php echo site_url(); ?>">
    <input type="text" class="search-post" name="s" placeholder="<?php echo esc_attr_x( 'Search Posts...', 'placeholder' ) ?>" value="<?php echo get_search_query() ?>" />
    <button type="submit" class="search-submit">Search</button> 
</form>

Search records from custom posts types software and books only

<form method="get" class="search-form" action="<?php echo site_url(); ?>">
    <input type="text" class="search-post" name="s" placeholder="<?php echo esc_attr_x( 'Search Posts...', 'placeholder' ) ?>" value="<?php echo get_search_query() ?>" />
    <input type="hidden" name="post_type[]" value="software" />
    <input type="hidden" name="post_type[]" value="books" />
    <button type="submit" class="search-submit">Search</button> 
</form>
