TESTIMONIALS

I wanted to boost the regular search function for a website that contains many documents. I wanted to achieve that searching could be performed much more accurately and visitors are served faster. For

this

I bought the Relevanssi premium plugin. I received fantastic and fast help for the installation. I strongly recommend going a step further

and

buy the premium version!

BART / NL34

I’d just like to give a shout out to how awesome this plugin is (Premium version). I have a site with pages, standard posts and a custom post for a document library where a couple gigs of PDFs are stored on AWS S3 using another plugin, and Relevanssi does a full-text index of all of it and returns context-sensitive results in less than a second. Plus good documentation and a responsive developer. This is the stuff of dreams.

NANCY HILDEBRANDT

I’ve used Relevanssi for several years now, and it is an essential plugin on my bigger sites. Relevanssi is an absolute must-have if you want to offer a better user experience on your WordPress website, because we all know how important a good search function is (and how bad the standard WordPress search is). Mikko keeps adding new features – I love the PDF search and more recently the related posts feature. Support is excellent, even for help with non-standard features. Thanks

Mikko!

POWER UP YOUR WORDPRESS SEARCH Relevanssi has bunch of features and lots of room for

customization.

But it's not really about features, it's about what you get from using

Relevanssi:

* BETTER RESULTS for your users, which means HAPPY USERS. * BETTER CONTROL OVER SEARCH RESULTS for you. * BETTER EXPERIENCE FOR BOTH YOU AND YOUR USERS.

FREE OR PREMIUM

Relevanssi comes in two flavours. FREE VERSION OF RELEVANSSI is available from WordPress Plugin Repository . It does the job and has over 1,600,000 downloads and more than 100,000 active installations and many satisfied users. For those who want something better, there's RELEVANSSI PREMIUM, which you can buy here. So why go Premium, when the free version is available? * GUARANTEED SUPPORT. Free version users get support if I have enough time available. * ADDITIONAL FEATURES. Relevanssi is developed actively and new features are added. Free version users won't get the new features, or get them long after Premium users have enjoyed them. * FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. More users for Relevanssi Premium means I can spend more time developing the plugin. See Relevanssi Premium prices and buy yours here! LICENSING OPTIONS EXPLAINED There are two different licensing options: * ANNUAL is valid for a year and provides access to upgrades and support. Once a year has passed, the plugin will still work, but you won’t get access to upgrades, support or attachment indexing services, until you renew the license. * PERMANENT gives you lifetime access to upgrades and support. Both licenses let you use Relevanssi on unlimited number of sites, Relevanssi use is not restricted to a limited number of sites. The annual license include support and upgrades for a year. It is not a subscription: once a year has passed, the license expires and you need to renew if you want it to continue, but you will not be billed

automatically.

CUSTOM SEARCH DEVELOPMENT Relevanssi is a great plugin, but it can't cover all specialized needs. It can be adapted to many demands with custom modifications, though, so just contact me and we can build you the CUSTOM SEARCH PLUGIN YOU NEED, based on the awesome power of Relevanssi. On the left, regular random results from WordPress default search. On the right, relevant results from Relevanssi, with the search terms highlighted.
