WordPress search doesn’t search everything, and doesn’t give you enough control over what is searched and how. Relevanssi gives you full access and full control, with plenty of filters and ways to make Relevanssi work the way you want your search to work.
Multisite searches Relevanssi can run searches across many subsites in the same multisite network.
Custom fields Relevanssi will find the content in your custom fields, including things like WooCommerce SKUs, ACF field content or whatever it is you store in custom fields. Read more about custom field search.
User profiles Yes, Relevanssi will find users by their names and profile descriptions.
Taxonomy terms No matter if you prefer categories, tags or custom taxonomies, Relevanssi will return the term archive pages in searches!
Shortcode output Relevanssi can expand shortcodes and find content generated by shortcodes.
Search Relevanssi.com – using Relevanssi, of course!
I wanted to boost the regular search function for a website that contains many documents. I wanted to achieve that searching could be performed much more accurately and visitors are served faster. For this I bought the Relevanssi premium plugin. I received fantastic and fast help for the installation. I strongly recommend going a step further and buy the premium version!

I’d just like to give a shout out to how awesome this plugin is (Premium version). I have a site with pages, standard posts and a custom post for a document library where a couple gigs of PDFs are stored on AWS S3 using another plugin, and Relevanssi does a full-text index of all of it and returns context-sensitive results in less than a second. Plus good documentation and a responsive developer. This is the stuff of dreams.

Mikko keeps adding new features – I love the PDF search and more recently the related posts feature. Support is excellent, even for help with non-standard features. Thanks Mikko!
The Downloads add-on for MemberPress adds downloadable files to MemberPress. These files are stored outside the Media Library, so by default Relevanssi attachment indexing has no access to them. However, Relevanssi offers filter hooks you can use to make Relevanssi index the MemberPress Downloads files. Adjust the query All this code goes to the child…
Relevanssi can handle Download Monitor files without big problems. If you want to use the “Index PDF contents for the parent page” option, there’s a problem, though. Download Monitor comes in between: the PDF post is attached to the Download Monitor dlm_download post and not the page where the [download] shortcode is. This can be…
ThemeCo themes use custom codes for dynamic content. Those are not usual shortcodes, and Relevanssi won’t expand them automatically. In order to expand the dynamic content from ThemeCo themes, you need to use these filters: The critical part is running these filters on an early enough priority for relevanssi_post_content: Relevanssi page builder shortcode cleanup runs…
These versions collect all the bug fixes and small improvements that I ran into during the summer. Next up is Premium 2.16, which will add bigger new features: at the moment I’m looking at developing proximity sorting (ie. show results that are nearest based on coordinates) and better search tracking. These will take some time…
