Transform WordPress search with Super Speedy Search
Super Speedy Search is a premium WordPress search plugin designed to deliver ultra-fast, highly relevant results for both your visitors and site administrators. It replaces slow, basic search with an optimized, SQL-powered engine that boosts performance on large WooCommerce stores and content-heavy sites while giving you fine-grained control over how results are ranked and displayed.
What is Super Speedy Search?
Super Speedy Search is a performance-focused WordPress and WooCommerce search solution that plugs directly into your existing site, using your own server and database instead of any third-party search service. It upgrades front-end and wp-admin searches alike, using fulltext indexes, custom queries and a lightweight AJAX handler to keep searches fast and responsive, even on very large catalogs.
Key features of Super Speedy Search
Ultra-fast AJAX and full-page search
- Instant, live AJAX search suggestions as users type
- Custom AJAX handler built for speed, avoiding the overhead of the default WordPress AJAX endpoint
- Fast full-page search results, not just dropdown suggestions
- Optimized SQL queries and fulltext indexing to keep search times low as your database grows
Smart, weighted relevance control
- Flexible weighting system so you can boost or reduce importance of titles, excerpts, content, taxonomy terms and meta fields
- Advanced meta weights to promote in-stock items, featured products, fresh content or any other rule-based criteria
- Meta multipliers to factor in ratings, popularity, sales or other numeric meta data
- Age weights to gently push older content down the results while keeping newer content more visible
- Separate weight profiles per post type so product search can behave differently from blog or page search
WooCommerce product and variation search
- Fully supports WooCommerce products and large product catalogs
- Smart variation search that can show specific product variations (for example, the exact color or size a user searches for)
- More relevant product ranking that helps customers land on items they are more likely to buy
Rich AJAX results panel and UX
- Instant search suggestions drawn from real phrases in your products and posts
- Taxonomy suggestions (e.g. categories, brands, authors) so users can jump straight to the most relevant archives
- A configurable widget panel in the results dropdown where you can display any widgets you like, filtered by the current search term
- Separate sections for different post types in the results panel, giving a clear structure for products, posts, pages and custom post types
Fast wp-admin search for power users
- Speeds up searches in wp-admin that rely on WP_Query, including product search, post search, media search and more
- Optimizes search queries used by the REST API so back-end tools and interfaces that depend on it also benefit
- Adds custom optimizations for areas of WordPress and WooCommerce that don’t use standard query mechanisms, helping your team work faster across the board
Built for scale and maintainability
- Uses your own MySQL fulltext indexes so there is no external search server to configure or pay for
- Automatically maintains its search tables and indexes as your content changes
- Designed to cope with very large databases and stores with hundreds of thousands or even millions of products
- WP-CLI commands available for table rebuilds and maintenance tasks, ideal for developers and advanced users
Powerful fuzzy search and synonyms
- Fuzzy search so users still find what they need even when they mistype queries
- Global synonyms and per-item misspelling options to map common variations into the right results
- Suggestion logic that learns from your content, pulling likely phrases directly out of your posts and products
Compatibility and integrations
- Works with all WordPress post types, including custom post types and their metadata
- Compatible with WooCommerce, including product attributes and taxonomies
- Integrates with faceted filtering plugins, including the Super Speedy Filters plugin, to allow refined search-driven filtering on results pages
- Plays nicely with popular translation and custom field solutions such as WPML, Polylang, TranslatePress and Advanced Custom Fields
- Can be used alongside your analytics setup so you can measure how users interact with search and optimize further
