+Plugin System
+=============
+
+Koha's Plugin System allows for you to add additional tools and reports
+to Koha that are specific to your library. Plugins are installed by
+uploading KPZ ( Koha Plugin Zip ) packages. A KPZ file is just a zip
+file containing the perl files, template files, and any other files
+necessary to make the plugin work.
+
+The plugin system needs to be turned on by a system administrator.
+
+`Set up <#pluginsetup>`__
+-------------------------
+
+To set up the Koha plugin system you must first make some changes to
+your install.
+
+-  Change <enable\_plugins>0</enable\_plugins> to
+   <enable\_plugins>1</enable\_plugins> in your koha-conf.xml file
+
+-  Restart your webserver
+
+Once set up is complete you will need to alter your
+`UseKohaPlugins <#UseKohaPlugins>`__ system preference. On the Tools
+page you will see the Tools Plugins and on the Reports page you will see
+the Reports Plugins.
+
+Search History
+==============
+
+If you have your `EnableSearchHistory <#EnableSearchHistory>`__
+preference set to keep your search history then you can access this
+information by clicking on your username in the top right of the staff
+client and choosing 'Search history'.
