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.
Choose Which Post Types Appear in Search
Sets exactly which content types the site search returns, for example posts, pages and your portfolio, instead of every public type.
Exclude Specific Pages From Search
Hides chosen posts or pages (thank-you pages, landing pages, legal pages) from front-end search results.
Hide Password-Protected Posts From Search
Leaves password-protected posts and pages out of search results so their titles are not exposed to visitors.
Include PDFs and Documents in Search Results
Lets the site search find PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files from the Media Library by their title, caption and description, alongside posts and pages.
Instant Search Suggestions
Shows a dropdown of matching posts and pages under every search box as the visitor types, using the built-in REST API search.
Leave Noindexed Content Out of Site Search
Hides posts and pages that you set to noindex in Yoast SEO or Rank Math from your own site search, such as thank-you pages and thin landing pages.
Limit Search Results to Posts
Restricts front-end search results to blog posts, leaving out pages and other post types.
Noindex Search Result Pages
Asks search engines not to index your internal search result pages, which are thin, endless and a favorite target for spam links.
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.
Product Search Box Above the Shop
Places the WooCommerce product search box above the product grid on the shop and product category pages.
Search Within the Current Category
On category pages, adds an "Only in [category]" checkbox to the search form and Search block, ticked by default, so visitors can search just that section.
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.
