gee Search Plus extends the WordPress search engine without messing with the database, sorts results by relevance (or date), and more.
- Extend search to Media
- Order results by Relevance or by Date
- Define matching rules: at least one search term (OR query) or require all terms (AND query)
- Define your own highlight style (CSS class: gee-search-highlight)
- i18n ready
- Searches through all the posts, pages and custom post types, by title and content (AND query)
- Extends search to all custom taxonomies, category and tags (AND query)
- Extends search to custom fields (AND query)
- Sorts results by relevance
- Highlights searched terms (optional)
- Removes stopwords from search query
- Integrates the stopwords mechanism with Stella multi-language plugin, by removing the current language stopwords from the search query
Very easy to use and setup! No new database tables or complex configurations. gSearch Plus uses only WordPress' APIs and functions! Simple and Clean!
- Upload the
gsearch-plusfolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the gSearch Plus plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
- Configure the plugin by going to the gSearch Plus menu that appears in your Settings menu
That’s all! We hope that you like our plugin. Suggestions, questions and other feedback are welcome. twitter: @luistinygod
