SearchWP Live Ajax Search

A standard search can make visitors wait for a separate results page before they see matches. SearchWP Live Ajax Search shows results as people type, updating the list with each query. This gives content-rich sites and online stores a direct way to help visitors find relevant posts, pages, or products from the search form.

The plugin offers templates for search results and options for the autocomplete dropdown, including its styling, width, and maximum number of results. Search suggestions can be adjusted with algorithm settings and weighting, and result order can be prioritized by keywords or content importance. Add a live search form to a page or post with a Gutenberg block, or use its search form layouts.
