Highlights search term (customizable colours), collects search analytics (privacy friendly), extends default search engine or disable search completely. WP Search Tools, brand new 2024 WordPress plugin, is a collection of useful improvements to the site search functionality if used or not.<\/p>\n\n
Do you know what people search for on your website, actually?<\/p>\n\n
WordPress core doesn\u2019t store any statistical data, but the WP Search Tools plugin shows detailed insights about the history of searched terms. The Insights is a great analytics tool which tells you what users really look for. No personal data is saved.<\/p>\n\n
There are 3 overviews:\n1) All Users\n2) Logged in\n3) Guests (not logged in users)<\/p>\n\n
Each overview data is represented by a graph and popularity lists.<\/p>\n\n
The graph data can customized and exported either as an image (.svg or .png) or as a .csv file. Most frequent search terms are sorted by a date: 'today', 'last 7 days', 'last 30 days', 'this year', 'overall'.<\/p>\n\n
In the search results page, the search term is highlighted with a smooth, eye-catching CSS animation. The highlight feature is activated by default.<\/p>\n\n
User experience is enhanced and visual mark speeds up finding relevant information. Furthermore, highlight settings are customizable, both background colour and text colour can be set in the WordPress administration options page.<\/p>\n\n
Free version of the plugin extends the default search engine. It allows searching in custom post types, taxonomies, authors and meta data. All these data of the website are hidden to the basic WordPress search engine and cannot be reached via search functionality.<\/p>\n\n
The results are ordered by relevance not post date. The settings can be customized to fit exact needs. It is possible to choose which post types, meta data or taxonomies should be included in the search.<\/p>\n\n
The plugin prevents WordPress from allowing and handling any search requests from the front-end of the site. If search is not used on the website, it is useful to disable it completely. The seach form is hidden, if called with a standard Type 'highlight search term' (best position in the results) into the plugin search and scroll to find the Search Tools plugin. When installed and activated, search analytics and highlight search term functionalities are immediately working for you.<\/p>\n\n Alternatively, upload (e.g. via FileZilla ftp client<\/a>) the Search Tools plugin files manually to your server into the 'wp-content\/plugins' folder.<\/p>\n\n Or download the plugin in a .ZIP format and upload via the WordPress plugin management administration page: 'Plugins - Add New Plugin - Upload Plugin (button at the top)'. If you need additional help feel free to contact the support<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n You are right. There are many tiny plugins, each solving some limitation of the default WordPress search. But we group together these features into the one plugin and extend them with extra settings and possibilities.<\/p><\/dd>\n Type 'highlight search term' (best position in the results) into the plugin search and scroll to find the Search Tools plugin.<\/p><\/dd>\n Search 'analytics' and 'highlight' feature are enabled by default.
