Description

Directorist AI Search is a WordPress plugin that adds a semantic search layer to Directorist directory sites. It matches listings by meaning instead of exact keyword matches, and it enhances Core Directorist Search and Universal Search once listings are indexed. Setup involves installing the extension and indexing your listings, with no API key or third-party AI account required.

Key Features

  • Semantic Search – Search results are based on what visitors mean rather than the exact words they typed.
  • One-Click Indexing – A single Index All action processes your entire directory so listings become searchable.
  • No API Key – The plugin runs without API keys, third-party AI accounts, or per-search billing.
  • Custom Semantic Terms – You can add your own synonyms, local terminology, jargon, or spelling variants to individual listings.
  • Minimum Score Threshold – Listings scoring below the threshold you set are automatically hidden from results.
  • Featured Score – Listings scoring above the featured threshold receive automatic featured placement.
  • Individual Relevance Scores – Each listing receives its own relevance score per query so you can see why it ranks where it does.

Who Is It For

This plugin is for owners of Directorist-powered directory sites, such as local business directories or job listing sites, who want visitors to find listings by meaning rather than exact keywords. It suits administrators who want to tune result quality and featured placement without managing external AI accounts.
