Change the way your WordPress website prioritizes search results, letting your users automatically train your website, teaching it which results are the most relevant for each search.
For each search you can set one result to be pinned to the top of the results list, so that regardless of result popularity or custom ordering, that result will be the first one displayed.
Choose a highlight colour and highlight the words users have searched for on the search results page. If a highlighted word does not appear in the excerpt it will attempt to create a better excerpt with the first searched word.
As well as ordering the first five results by popularity, you can choose to have results ordered by either:
| WordPress | 3.5+ requiredTested up to 3.7.41 |
| PHP | false+ required |
