Minimum Search Term Length
Ignores searches shorter than a few characters, which return huge, useless result lists and put extra load on the database.
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.
Show Pages Before Posts in Search Results
Lists matching pages first in search results, then blog posts, then other content, so key pages like pricing or contact are not buried under older posts.
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.
