Relevanssi - A Better Search

Relevanssi replaces the default search with a partial-match search that sorts results by relevance. It also indexes comments and shortcode content.

Download Version 2.9.13

Known issues and To-do's

  • Known issue: The most common cause of blank screens when indexing is the lack of the mbstring extension. Make sure it's installed.
  • Known issue: In general, multiple Loops on the search page may cause surprising results. Please make sure the actual search results are the first loop.
  • Known issue: Relevanssi doesn't necessarily play nice with plugins that modify the excerpt. If you're having problems, try using relevanssi_the_excerpt() instead of the_excerpt().
  • Known issue: I know the plugin works with WP 2.5, but it loses some non-essential functionality. The shortcode stuff doesn't work with WP 2.5, which doesn't support shortcodes. Compatibility with older versions of WP hasn't been tested.
  • Known issue: Custom post types and private posts is problematic - I'm using default 'read_private_*s' capability, which might not always work.
  • Known issue: There are reported problems with custom posts combined with custom taxonomies, the taxonomy restriction doesn't necessarily work.
  • Known issue: Phrase matching is only done to post content; phrases don't match to category titles and other content.
  • Known issue: User searches page requires MySQL 5.
