This plug-in provides you with more relevant search results than are currently 
available to the normal WordPress search and it should also do so with less of a 
performance hit on the db than the normal WordPress search. We use the MySQL 
commands MATCH () AGAINST () as opposed to WordPress’ use of LIKE to do our 
queries which are not as heavy on the db. The only issue we have with “match 
against” is that we need an index on the columns we intend to search on.

Spectacu.la Advanced Search

Changes the Wordpress search queries to provide more relevant results more efficiently and with options to influence the results.

When working on themes and plugins you often notice a piece of text that appears hardcoded into the files, you need to modify it, but you don’t know what theme or plugin it’s in, and certainly not which individual file to look in.
Easily search through your themes, plugins or even WordPress core and be presented with a list of files, the matched text and what line of the file matched your search. 
You can then quickly make edits directly in your browser by clicking the link from the search results.
By default a consistency check is performed when making edits to files, this will look for inconsistencies with braces, brackets and parenthesis that are often accidentally left in. 
This drastically reduces the risk of breaking your site when making edits, but is in no way an absolute guarantee.
Create a replica of your live site a.k.a – <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/instawp-connect" rel="ugc">WordPress Staging</a> site before testing substitutions.

Great plugin


I've used this plugin now a dozen times to track down plugins conflicts for my customers. Truly one of the best debug utilities, up there with Query Monitor!


Great for support
