WP FullText Search – The Power of Indexed Search free WordPress plugin
Description
This plugin extends the standard search capabilities of WordPress by creating a transparent word-based index. This allows you to quickly search not only by the title and content of posts, but also by meta-fields, custom types of posts, shortcode content and even by the contents of the attached files. Yes, all this is possible! WPFTS does not require the installation of external indexing software and therefore works even on shared hostings. It does not require any refinement of your site, thus all other plugins will also automatically use the word-based index after installing the WPFTS. You will be able to justify the relevance function by specifying the weights for the title, the content, and each of the meta-fields in your posts. Unlike other search plug-ins, WPFTS does not replace the standard WP search, instead, it significantly expands its functionality. Thus, all built-in functions of WP_Query are saved, in addition, other plug-ins begin to use advanced search automatically. There is a built-in Live Search functionality. You can simple switch it ON simple by using WPFTS’s native flexible Search Widget. The extended (pro) version of the plugin allows you to automatically index the text content of the attached files (for example, PDF files, full list of supported files is listed in Documentation) and perform a quick search on them. Here is a short summary of capabilities in this FREE version: TRUE indexed text search within title, content, shortcodes, meta field values or programmatically-created text data Dramatically extends the native WordPress search (and at the same time works via WP_Query()) Supports phrase search (gives a relevance bonus for phrases) Supports multisite Supports powerful index clustering system (to assign different relevance weights to different parts of the post) Supports AND and OR logic Ordering results by relevance, date, post ID, title, slug, type, random,
