FacetWP – Relevanssi Integration 0.8

Fix Your WordPress Search Without Hiring a Developer

FacetWP and Relevanssi are both excellent tools separately. Together? They’re a mess. Enabling both creates conflicts — search results ignore filters, relevance goes haywire, and your site breaks in ways that frustrate visitors and hurt conversions. This plugin is the bridge that makes them work together properly.

Once active, FacetWP taps into Relevanssi’s search index instead of WordPress’s default. Your faceted filters keep working exactly as before. Except now they’re powered by intelligent ranking that understands typos, handles boolean queries, and indexes custom fields and taxonomies automatically.

Why This Integration Matters

WordPress default search misses content. It ignores custom fields, treats taxonomy terms as irrelevant, and ranks everything by date instead of meaning. Relevanssi fixes that. FacetWP gives users the filters they need to narrow results. But without this bridge, they’re stepping on each other.

This plugin ends the conflict. No settings page. No API keys. Just activate and your search improves immediately.

What You Get

• Faceted filters that actually pull from Relevanssi’s index
• Search results ranked by relevance, not just keyword density
• Typo tolerance and boolean search support
• Real-time filter updates without page reloads
• Lightweight code — won’t tank your page speed
• Works with most themes and page builders

Who Benefits Most

Store owners with large catalogs see immediate results. When customers filter by price, category, or attributes AND get results ranked by actual relevance, they find products faster. Content sites — directories, job boards, documentation, real estate — work much better too. The plugin shines whenever you have more than 50 posts or products and need search that actually works.

The Setup

Upload, activate, done. Your existing facets continue working exactly as before — except now they pull from Relevanssi instead of WordPress default. No configuration required. No debugging hours wasted. Just working search from day one.
