Description
SearchWP is a WordPress plugin that swaps out the built-in search for a configurable engine. It can index custom fields, PDF documents, media files, custom post types, and custom database tables, then rank matches by relevance. You can also adjust the algorithm, reorder priority results, and add live Ajax search forms.
Key Features
- Custom Content Indexing – SearchWP can include custom fields, PDF documents, media files, custom post types, and custom database tables in what it searches.
- Relevance-Based Ranking – Results are ordered by relevance rather than the default WordPress date order.
- Custom Search Algorithm – You can change how the search algorithm weighs content and which items are included or excluded.
- Priority Result Reordering – You can move specific results to the top for chosen keywords so important content appears first.
- Instant AJAX Search – A live search drop-down shows matching results while visitors type.
- Search Analytics – The plugin records search activity so you can see what visitors look for and adjust content accordingly.
- E-commerce Search – Product data can be indexed for stores, with stated support for WooCommerce and EDD.
- Multisite Search – On Multisite installs, search can cover content from the main site and all sub-sites.
Who Is It For
This plugin is aimed at WordPress site owners, designers, and developers who find the default search too limited. It suits content-heavy sites, documentation and PDF archives, and online stores that need search to cover more than post titles and body text.
