The native WordPress search engine works very well for most of the cases, but for the moment in which we need to improve the results or add functionalities, SearchWP It is today one of the best alternatives available.
Included in our service Managed WordPress, below we will detail the main functionalities available:
SearchWP allows you to perform searches in custom fields
Custom fields (post meta) are completely ignored by WordPress search. uses SearchWP to instantly search all your valuable data.
SearchWP works with all custom fields the way you want, including data from popular plugins like:
Also, SearchWP makes it easy to personalize and refine data during indexing, ensuring you get the best possible search results.
SearchWP fixes your eCommerce search!

And there's even more: SearchWP has its own integrations that automatically get better search results.
SearchWP can search your documents!
You can tell SearchWP to extract text from documents (PDF, Office, Plain/Rich Text, and more) uploaded to the WordPress Media Library and make that content searchable.
Document search results are integrated directly into your results template, displaying the title of the Media Library and a link to that Media entry.
Additionally, SearchWP can extract a contextual excerpt that trims the search terms found.
SearchWP can search anything you want
Many modern WordPress sites use much more than the types of content available directly through WordPress.
Custom database tables are used to significantly improve performance when needed, but doing so excludes that content from WordPress search.
SearchWP was built with this in mind, which is why it has the ability to index content (and perform searches) from virtually any local database table.
SearchWP knows taxonomies and shortcodes
Taxonomy terms like Categories Y tags contain fantastic search-oriented content.
WordPress native search cannot consider that content.
The shortcode (shortcodes) are immensely popular in WordPress, but native WordPress search can't work with the output.
SearchWP allows you to incorporate taxonomy terms and output from shortcode in your search operation.
