Snippet Library
Search snippets for WordPress
Snippets that improve WordPress search: search custom fields and post types, exclude pages, redirect single results and highlight matching words. For content-heavy sites where visitors need to find things quickly.
Only Recent Blog Posts in Search Results
Leaves blog posts older than three years out of search results, while pages and other content types stay searchable, which suits news sites and fast-moving topics.
Sort Search Results by Newest First
Lists search results by publish date, newest first, instead of WordPress's relevance order, which suits news sites and blogs where freshness matters most.
