/* WARNING!!! (2013-07-10) We intend to add a few more fields into this search form over the coming weeks/months.
 * Overriding shouldn't hinder functionality at all but these new search options won't appear on your form!
 */
/*
 * By modifying this in your theme folder within plugins/events-manager/templates/events-search.php, you can change the way the search form will look.
 * To ensure compatability, it is recommended you maintain class, id and form name attributes, unless you now what you're doing.
 * You also have an $args array available to you with search options passed on by your EM settings or shortcode
