Improved WordPress Search: the free AIFORYA plugin

Turn WordPress internal search into a genuinely useful tool.

AIFORYA Search improves your WordPress site's search: you choose which content types are searched, exclude unwanted content, limit the number of results and highlight searched words. All of it locally, with no API key, no external service — and without adding any table to your database.

• Free and complete: published on WordPress.org, no crippled features.
• Local and lightweight: works from your WordPress database, no table added, no network call on the public side.
• Immediate: a few checkboxes, and the site's search behaves better.

Why improve internal search?

Native WordPress search often returns poorly relevant results: it mixes posts, pages, custom-type drafts and content you never wanted to expose. A visitor who cannot find what they are looking for leaves — and disappointing search weighs directly on engagement and conversions.

The problem is that advanced search plugins are often paid, heavy (they duplicate your content in index tables) or intrusive. AIFORYA Search focuses on the essentials: target, exclude and highlight, without bloating your site.

What the plugin does

• Targeted content types — only show in results the types that matter (posts, pages, custom types).
• Title-only search — match results against the content title only, ideal for directories and catalogs.
• Highlighting of matched words — searched terms are highlighted in the titles and excerpts of results.
• Exclusions — remove specific IDs from search results.
• Protected content — hide password-protected content from results.
• Number of results — set the number of results per page, or keep your theme's value.
