Relevanssi – A Better Search

I cannot understand why Relevanssi does not have more active installs, since the years it's the best plugin to sort the WP search results by Relevancy.

I would like to see 1 million installs soon, it deserves.

Best Plugin to improve the WordPress Search Engine

I rarely find a plugin that does exactly what I need, clearly and efficiently (therefore, I usually build it myself). The various but smooth settings allow a perfect fine tuning: nothing more and nothing less than what is really needed. My compliments!

Just perfect!

Relevanssi replaces the default search with a partial-match search that sorts results by relevance. It also indexes comments and shortcode content.
