If I felt like and had time and maybe there was a need, I would maybe add the following features to the LearnPress plugin:

1. Allow users to search for LearnPress courses as well as other post types such as lessons and exams.
2. Implement the ability to filter search results in ascending or descending order.
3. Enable users to retrieve multiple search results.
4. Display relevant course statistics such as the number of enrolled students, average rating, and completion rate.
5. Provide support for other Learning Management System plugins if there is a similar need.
6. Filter search results by post status, such as published or draft.
