SearchWP Co-Authors Plus Integration

WordPress search can miss information about co-authors when visitors look for content by a particular writer. This extension adds author-related data to SearchWP's index, including first and last names, display names, and bios, so those details can be included in searches.

You can include author data in the site's main search or create searches focused on authors. Search results can be adjusted by promoting or demoting posts, and live Ajax search can show suggestions and results as visitors type. It suits sites that publish content with Co-Authors Plus and want author information to guide content discovery.
