SearchWP Custom Results Order

Default WordPress search ranks content with simple relevance rules, so the page you most want visitors to find may sit far down the list. SearchWP Custom Results Order gives you manual control. You pick a keyword, choose the posts or pages that should lead, and arrange them in the order you want.

The extension works inside SearchWP, so rankings are managed from the same dashboard as your search settings. You can apply custom rankings to as many keywords as you need and set different ranking logic for separate search engines on your site. It suits sites where a few key resources should always be easy to reach.

Features

• Promote results to the top: Move any post or page to the top of the results for a keyword with a single click, so your most useful content is seen first.
• Control ranking order: Set the order of several results for any keyword, so visitors see the content that fits their query in the sequence you choose.
• Drag and drop ordering: Reorder promoted results with a drag-and-drop interface, which makes adjusting your rankings quick when your content priorities change.
• Unlimited keyword customizations: Apply custom rankings to an unlimited number of keywords, giving you control over what visitors find for each query.
• Custom engine rankings: Create multiple search engines on your site, each with its own ranking logic, to serve different sections or user needs.
• Exact match results: Exact match searching is enabled by default, which helps avoid irrelevant hits and returns content that matches the visitor's query.
• Promotion across keywords: Promote an important page or post for several keywords at once, so that content is consistently highlighted in related searches.
• Works with custom content: The extension supports advanced content types, including custom fields and taxonomies, and is compatible with popular WordPress plugins.
