Totally Improved Search Results
This plugin definitely improved the search results on my site. It’s easy to use and support has been great!
Excellent plugin and fantastic support
I was desperate to experiment with this Better Search plugin when I read the features. After installation I realised some incompatibilities with my existing mega menu plug-in I already had installed that had an unusual way of featuring a search box within it. I pretty much felt it was game over at that point however I persevered and contacted the support for the better search plugin and to my amazement had a response very quickly. After a few emails back and forth the developer sent me test files to try and after a few attempts they managed not only to get the Search working correctly along with the existing mega menu solution I had installed, but also made an additional improvement based on some of my own testing. It’s a really satisfying feeling knowing that there is support out there of this high standard that matches the quality of this search plugin that not only gives good search results, but also adds live search so as the visitor types their search query, results instantly start to appear to aid discovery of your content. Really pleased how everything worked out! Thank you!
Better Search does the job
I’ve been using this plugin for a while… and it just works. Easy to install, very little setup, and now I’ve tested support (I had an issue with an update, in less than a day my site was back up and in a couple days had a new release with the fix inside) successfully.
Excellent plugin
Better Search not only made our WordPress search better very easily, but looking under the hood, the developer writes very clean, structured, and optimized code! Very rare to see these days. Better Search is a must have for WordPress!

Creator Got Greedy, No Longer Recommend This Plugin
Used to be great, but then the creator got greedy and made it into a subscription service. There’s a free version but it’s so heavily limited and will break search functionality – specifically try searching for words like “to” or “from” in it and it won’t pick up those search queries (you can’t disable this either without paying for that subscription service).Was a good plugin, but owner got greedy. There’s other free plugins out there to improve WP’s search functionality, shame.
