• Relevanssi is the plugin that I’ve included on most sites I’ve built in the past 4 years or so. The free version enhances WordPress search so much that users seem to actually use the search.

    I like the Google-style result highlights the most, in addition to the actually relevant search results. The built in search in WordPress just doesn’t parse through enough data to provide relevant results.

    The index it generates is too large for truly large sites, but that isn’t a problem until you have tens of thousands of posts and / or hundreds of thousands of users.

    But at that point you should consider a different solution anyway, like Elasticsearch or Algolia. Relevanssi should run just fine without any performance problems in a 5$ / month hosting, if the environment in question is up to today’s standards.
