WordPress’ default search is good – but maybe enough for you. If you’re looking for an easy custom WordPress search solution, you’ll need something else. Let’s see what’s missing and what you can achieve with VISeek.
WordPress search system is limited, hard to customize, and doesn’t give you insights into what people are actually looking for. Out of the box, it only looks through post titles and content, ignoring custom fields, taxonomies, or product details. Results are often sorted by date instead of relevance, so the most useful content doesn’t always appear first. It also doesn’t handle typos, synonyms, or stop words well, which can lead to empty or inaccurate results. There are no built-in filters for categories, tags, or post types, and users have to reload a whole new page for every query since there’s no instant or live search. On top of that, WordPress doesn’t provide analytics on what people are searching for, making it hard to optimize content. These gaps are even more obvious on WooCommerce stores, where product-specific needs like categories, tags, and attributes aren’t supported by default.

Simple searching of WordPress files.
Often you might be working with a WordPress theme/plugin/core files that you didn’t create. 
You want to overwrite a function in your child theme, you don’t know where it’s located in the parent theme or what it does. 
This plugin assists you to locate all references within the whole of WordPress without even leaving WordPress! 
It locates all files that contain your search term and allows you to select the file you want to load. 
Once loaded your quickly able to see where its located and how it works.
Note: 
This requires administrator permission for WordPress, as this will be able to search all WordPress files, including plugins and themes. 
I have plans to release limited version, such as plugin file search / theme file search. 
If you are interested in such versions to donate to show your interest.
<ul>
<li>All features are included, but if you would like to donate, it will assist further development</li>
</ul>

WordPress File Search

I made this plugin just to speed up the process of finding strings hidden in themes mainly. This allows you to track down those functions etc, that text that just seems hidden.



I like it :P

Assisting administrators locate any reference within the whole of Wordpress without even leaving Wordpress!
