About

Relevanssi allows you to search your site for custom field content, taxonomy terms, shortcode outputs, and more. It displays results with the highlighted search term and includes fuzzy matches to make it easier to find what you’re looking for.

SearchWP allows you to find any piece of content on your website without the need to write any code. This includes many fields that are normally ignored by native WordPress search, including eCommerce product details, custom field content, and PDF and documentation.

WPSOLR uses Elasticsearch, Algolia, or Solr to power your site’s search and provide typo-tolerant and flexible search results. WPSOLR can apply language specific searches on top of WPML translations. This means your clients can conduct relevant searches in more than 50 languages.

ElasticPress, a fast and flexible search and query engine for WordPress, enables WordPress to find or “query” relevant content extremely fast through a variety of highly customizable features.
