WP Static Search
This plugin adds a static search engine to your WordPress site. Static in this context means that it works in the browser without using of server-side queries, so it’s ideal for static <a href="https://github.com/gergelyszerovay/wp-static-proxy" rel="nofollow ugc">websites generated from a WordPress site</a>.
Since both the search and the indexing happens in the browser, this plugin is not a good fit for sites that contain hundreds of pages and posts.
<h3>Getting Started</h3>
After you are installed the plugin, choose the ”Static Search” option from the left sidebar of the WordPress admin interface. Press the ”Update Index” button and wait until the indexing is finished. Each time you change the content of the website, you should update the search index manually.
To insert the search box and the search results into the site, use the [static_search] shortcode. It’s a good practice to create a page called ”Search” with the slug ”/search/” and insert the [static_search] shortcode into this page. To redirect the search widgets to this page, append the following code to the bottom of your .htaccess file:
<pre><code>RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} \\?s=([^&]+) [NC]

RewriteRule ^$ /search/?q=%1 [NC,R,END]
</code></pre>
This code redirects the search queries to the /search/ page, then the [static_search] shortcode processes them and shows the search results.

Search & Filter

Great Plugin

I use the pro version of this plugin and it is truly one of the best, most useful plugins out there. There's no bloat. It doesn't load you down with a bunch of crappy templates or anything like that. It just focuses on providing you all the options you could need for searching and filtering content and leaves the rest to you. I am always pleasantly surprised that when I want to do some weird thing with filtering I find that this plugin already has the ability to do it.

Excellent plugin with very good ACF support in its pro version but also a very useful Elementor integration. The support is very responsive and very helpful!Great job !


Excellent plugin with excellent support

I would love to say this plugin is awesome. I really would. It has some great functionality out of the box. I need to drop it a star and a half because it overlooks a few fundamental priorities that would be easy to fix but they don's seem to want to bother with. First, their is no way to alter the html template of the outputted form, or give you a way to segment it into sections. This creates a huge drag trying to style a single flowing list of elements <ul><li></li></ul>. This would be easy to solve and there are several requests for styling help. Second, the pro support is not very good. I was not able to find a way to contact them on my account page so came and left a review instead.

Pretty Good functionality but styling help is non-existant
