<p>Better WP Search improves the default WordPress search functionality currently in two ways:</p>
<ol>
<li>If there is only one search result, redirect to that post; and</li>
<li>Replaces search URL from /?s=query to /search/query.</li>
</ol>
<p>The plugin will offer more features in the future. If you have a suggestion? Use the plugin’s<br />

<p>Amit Indexing Engine helps WordPress site owners get their pages discovered by search engines faster.</p>
<p>Google allows approximately 10 URL indexing requests per day. If you have 250 pages, that means 25 days of manual work. This plugin automates the notification process.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Auto-submits 10 URLs daily at 3 AM via WordPress cron</li>
<li>Smart priority system (service pages submitted before blog posts)</li>
<li>One-click bulk submit all URLs to IndexNow</li>
<li>Auto-publish detection (new content submitted on publish)</li>
<li>URL tracker dashboard with status management</li>
<li>Supports all custom post types</li>
<li>Works with any WordPress theme</li>
<li>No external accounts or API keys required</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<p>The plugin notifies search engines about your pages through official, search-engine-approved channels. It uses the IndexNow protocol to notify Bing, Yandex, Seznam, and Naver, and pings Google and Bing sitemap endpoints. Submitting a URL does not guarantee indexing; search engines decide when and whether to index based on content quality and crawl budget.</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the following third-party services to notify search engines about your URLs. No user data or personal information is transmitted. The only data sent is your publicly accessible sitemap URL and your publicly accessible page URLs.</p>
<h4>IndexNow API</h4>
<p>This plugin sends your page URLs to the IndexNow API at <code>api.indexnow.org</code> to notify participating search engines (Bing, Yandex, Seznam, Naver) about new or updated content on your site. This happens when you click the submit buttons or when the daily auto-scheduler runs.</p>
<ul>
<li>Service provider: IndexNow (open protocol by Microsoft and Yandex)</li>
<li>Data sent: Your site’s hostname, a verification key, and a list of your public page URLs</li>
<li>When data is sent: On manual submit, on daily cron schedule, and on new post publish</li>

</ul>
<h4>Google Sitemap Ping</h4>
<p>This plugin sends your sitemap URL to Google’s ping endpoint at <code>google.com/ping</code> to notify Google that your sitemap has been updated.</p>
<ul>
<li>Service provider: Google LLC</li>
<li>Data sent: Your publicly accessible sitemap URL</li>
<li>When data is sent: On manual ping, on daily cron schedule, and on new post publish</li>
<li><a href="https://policies.google.com/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Terms of Service</a></li>
<li><a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>Bing Sitemap Ping</h4>
<p>This plugin sends your sitemap URL to Bing’s ping endpoint at <code>bing.com/ping</code> to notify Bing that your sitemap has been updated.</p>
<ul>
<li>Service provider: Microsoft Corporation</li>
<li>Data sent: Your publicly accessible sitemap URL</li>
<li>When data is sent: On manual ping and on daily cron schedule</li>
