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.

I’ve used Relevanssi for several years now, and it is an essential plugin on my bigger sites. Relevanssi is an absolute must-have if you want to offer a better user experience on your WordPress website, because we all know how important a good search function is (and how bad the standard WordPress search is). 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 Relevanssi error “Could not save the file content to the custom field” means that Relevanssi has managed to read the attachment contents but cannot save them to the _relevanssi_pdf_content custom field Relevanssi uses to store the attachment contents. Relevanssi uses the update_post_meta() function to save the content, and for some reason, that function is…
The event search from The Events Calendar does not work when Relevanssi is enabled. In regular use, it works, but if you try to access the event list directly with a search term in the URL, the search finds nothing. One solution is to make Relevanssi index the tribe_events post type. Then you can enable…
Version 2.18 adds the first draft of Oxygen 4 support. As a major fix to indexing, Relevanssi now removes all accents from letters by default. Version 2.18.0 / 4.16.0 New feature: Oxygen compatibility has been upgraded to support JSON data from Oxygen 4. This is still in the early stages, so feedback from Oxygen users…
Version 2.17.0 fixes a major problem with the click tracking feature: the logs didn’t trim as they were supposed to. There are minor improvements to Bricks compatibility and many new filter hooks for fine-tuning the MySQL query Relevanssi uses to fetch the results. Version 2.17.2 / 4.15.2 Premium. New feature: If you have a valid…
