Pascal Cescato reviews Relevanssi in French: “Alors si vous n’êtes pas satisfaits de la fonctionnalité d’origine, vous n’avez aucune raison de râler et de vous plaindre… installez Relevanssi, pour une recherche relevante ?

Jennifer R. says: “Wow. Not only was that the fastest response I’ve ever received, but it’s the fastest resolution too. THANK YOU!

Alec Shekhar says: “Relevanssi is the most powerful search plugin I could find – better than Google Search for WordPress. It was the only solution for what we needed at TradersLists.com. It is highly flexible, and Mikko’s customer service was superb. Just stop looking elsewhere now, and buy it!

Anders Saugstrup of Marketers.dk says: “Mikko’s Relevanssi plugin saved our search!
We were struggling with irrelevant search results on our bbPress forum, Marketers.dk – the largest Danish Online Marketing Forum.

The build in search engine in WordPress simply did not deliver the results our paying members where asking for.

The only plugin that fit our criteria (working with WordPress, bbPress and working behind a paywall) was Relevanssi, which also happens to be the best WordPress search engine.

Implementing it needed some tweaking and Mikko has been amazing in helping us out. Now we have the search results that we wanted!”

Tom Ewer of ManageWP (a highly recommended tool for anybody, who manages lots of WP sites, by the way) wrote an article called Relevanssi: The Best Search Engine for WordPress?. He points out a mistake of mine: “To be honest, I think the developers of Relevanssi have offered too much in the free version.” As he says, “There is no comparison between default WordPress search and Relevanssi – the latter blows the former out of the water. [..] Not only that, Relevanssi is a piece of cake to set up.”
