WP Extended Search

This plugin modifies the standard search function for websites built on the popular CMS to make it more comprehensive and configurable. It is designed for site administrators and developers who need visitors to find content based on metadata, product attributes, or specific categories that the default search ignores.

Search in Selected Meta Keys: Choose exactly which custom fields to include in searches, such as product SKUs, location data, or any other post meta, ensuring relevant results from hidden data.

Include Taxonomies in Search: Configure the search to scan standard and custom taxonomies, including categories, tags, and any user-defined classifications, not just post titles and body text.

Exclude Old Content: Set a date threshold to automatically filter out outdated posts or pages from search results, keeping information current for users.

Create Multiple Search Forms: Build unlimited, independent search settings for use with widgets, shortcodes, or custom PHP forms, allowing different search behaviors across the site.

Advanced Result Control: Fine-tune the search logic with options for partial or exact matching, control the sort order, limit results by file type for attachments, and define the relationship between search terms using AND/OR operators.
