SearchWP WPML Integration

Sites built with WPML often keep content in several languages, but the default WordPress search is not designed around that. Visitors can end up with results that do not match the language they are browsing in. SearchWP WPML Integration links the two tools so search results follow the visitor's language automatically, and the search stays relevant across every language version of the site.

Once connected, you can tune how results are found and ranked, using keywords, tags, categories and custom fields. Live search suggestions appear as visitors type, and you can move chosen posts or pages higher in the results. The plugin also indexes PDFs and other file types, and it includes analytics so you can see what people search for in each language.

Features

• Connects SearchWP and WPML: The plugin links SearchWP with WPML so your multilingual WordPress site can run searches that understand the languages your content is published in.
• Quick WPML setup: Multilingual search can be enabled with a single step, which keeps the work of joining SearchWP and WPML short for site owners and developers.
• Results in the visitor's language: Search results are shown in the language the visitor is using, which cuts down on confusion when a site serves several languages at once.
• Adjustable search algorithm: Fine-tune relevance and ranking using keywords, tags, categories and custom fields, so the results match how your content is organized.
• Live Ajax instant search: Suggestions and results appear in real time while visitors type, so they can reach the content they want without submitting a full search first.
• Custom results ordering: Prioritize or promote specific posts and pages so that selected content, products or services appear prominently when visitors search.
• Multilingual search analytics: Review search trends and visitor behavior across languages, then use what you learn to refine your content and your search setup.
• PDF and file indexing: SearchWP indexes PDFs and other file types, so visitors can find text that sits inside documents as well as on regular pages.
