Great for large sites

The default WordPress search box was giving our client very weird search results. We installed Relevanssi (free version) and got much better content matches and results. Very customizable with useful settings.

I love how it automatically removes words like “a, about, someone, etc” from the search index. You can also add/remove additional “stop words” as they’re called.

I also like how the tools tells you the “25 most common words in the index.”
