SearchWP GPL makes Custom Fields searchable!
Custom Fields (post meta) are completely ignored by WordPress search! Use SearchWP to instantly make all of your valuable data searchable.
WHAT DO YOUR VISITORS SEARCH FOR?
On-site search activity is an extremely valuable insight into visitor behavior.
Visitors are literally telling you what they’re looking for!
SearchWP recognizes and understands how beneficial powerful on-site search is, not only for your visitors but for you too.
With an effective on-site search solution, your visitors will broadcast what they’re looking for. SearchWP will help you help them find it.
SearchWP’s Metrics Extension analyzes your search traffic, showing you what visitors are searching for, finding, and not finding.
SearchWP’s data will help you improve your site content!
SearchWP knows Taxonomies & Shortcodes
Taxonomy terms like Categories and Tags contain fantastic, search-oriented content.
Native WordPress search isn’t able to consider that content.
Shortcodes are immensely popular in WordPress, but native WordPress search isn’t able to work with the output.
SearchWP allows you to incorporate taxonomy terms and Shortcode output in your search operation!
WordPress already has search functionality, SearchWP steps in by integrating with your existing search form and results template.
There is no coding necessary to replace your existing keyword search form or results template! SearchWP automatically integrates with native WordPress search forms in:
Unlike WordPress, SearchWP returns results based on relevance from the content you want to search. Gone are the days of missing content types, omitted results, and bad sorting!
SearchWP integrates with your existing search results template, sorting results based on the content & criteria you choose, including:
- Custom Fields (post metadata) including ACF Fields
- Ecommerce product details, variations, & attributes
- Categories, Tags, custom taxonomies
- Shortcode output
- Document content (PDF,.docx,.txt, etc.)
- Custom database table content
SearchWP can search your documents!
You can tell SearchWP to extract text from documents (PDF, Office, plain/rich text, and more!) uploaded to the WordPress Media library and make that content searchable.
Document search results integrate directly into your results template, showing the Media Library title and a link to that Media entry.
Further, SearchWP is able to extract a contextual excerpt that trims around found search terms.
SearchWP can search everything
Many modern WordPress sites use far more than the content types available directly through WordPress.
Custom database tables are used to significantly improve performance when necessary, but doing so excludes that content from WordPress search.
SearchWP was built with this in mind, and SearchWP has the ability to index (and make searchable) content from virtually any local database table.
