SearchWP Term Archive Priority

Sites with a lot of content often have visitors who want a whole topic rather than one article. A plain search may bury the listing page they need beneath individual posts. This plugin addresses that by giving archive pages a higher place in the results, so people can move straight to an organized collection.

It works inside the existing SearchWP setup and needs little configuration. You can adjust the weight given to different archives, and the plugin is built to avoid crowding out single posts and pages. That makes it a fit for blogs, news sites and stores with many product categories, including sites that define their own taxonomies.

Features

• Priority boost for archives: Category, tag and taxonomy archive pages are moved higher in search results, guiding visitors toward broader content hubs that group related material.
• Works with SearchWP: The plugin runs within the existing SearchWP framework, so you can add archive prioritizing to a search setup you already have.
• Adjustable priority levels: You can set the weight assigned to different term archives, which gives you control over where each type of archive lands in the rankings.
• Custom taxonomy support: Prioritizing is not limited to default categories and tags. Any custom taxonomy you define can have its archives raised in search results.
• Balanced with posts and pages: Archives are favored without overwhelming individual posts or pages, so search results still feel natural and useful to visitors.
• Suited to large content libraries: It is made for sites with many categories, tags and custom taxonomies, so relevant archive listings can be surfaced when people search.
• Light on resources: The plugin uses lightweight code, designed to keep your site responsive while it adjusts how archives rank in search.
• Simple setup: Minimal configuration is needed, and no coding is required to begin prioritizing term archives in your search results.
