SearchWP WP Document Revisions Integration

Default WordPress search looks at basic details such as titles and descriptions, which leaves the text inside documents out of reach. This integration addresses that gap. It works with WP Document Revisions and SearchWP to index the content of your documents, along with custom fields, taxonomy terms and author details, so visitors and team members can search what a file actually says.

You control how results are ranked by weighting attributes like content, authors and custom fields. Search forms can go anywhere on your site through Gutenberg blocks or a modal popup, and results appear instantly as people type. The plugin fits document libraries, internal resource hubs and public sites that publish many files, and developers can extend it through hooks and an API.

Features

• Connects to WP Document Revisions: The plugin links SearchWP with WP Document Revisions, so the documents you already manage there become part of your site search without a complicated setup.
• Indexes many document types: Content from PDFs, text files, presentations, images and other media formats can be indexed, which makes the material inside those files searchable in WordPress.
• Adjustable search relevance: Weight document attributes such as content, authors and custom fields to decide which results rank first for your visitors.
• Live Ajax instant search: Suggestions and results appear while people type, so they can reach a document without submitting the form and waiting for a new page.
• Flexible search form placement: Add document search forms anywhere on your site using Gutenberg blocks, or open the search in a modal popup.
• Custom fields and taxonomies: Include custom metadata and taxonomy terms attached to your documents, so searches match more than titles and descriptions.
• Customizable result display: Control how search results appear, which lets you present the most relevant documents in a layout that suits your site.
• Hooks and API for developers: Developers can customize and extend the plugin through its API and hooks, adapting document search to the needs of a particular project.
