Features & Benefits

Powerful-yet-simple WordPress search

A better search for your users

Default WordPress search does not allow for prioritizing or weighting your best content nor does it correct typos.

WP Engine Smart Search is a set-and-forget search solution that drives engagement and conversions with your highest-intent users with intuitive, typo-tolerant, and relevant search results.

Other smart tools often require manual set-up or technical skills to ensure proper setup.

With WP Engine Smart Search, you can improve your WordPress search experience with four clicks. Installation will auto-index your data now and in the future with no technical ability required.

Default WordPress search ignores all custom post types from Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) users—the data that makes your site unique.

ACF is a part of the WP Engine family, so we built a search with the ACF community in mind. Your custom post types will be auto-indexing out of the box—no custom coding required.
