Welcome!

How is it different from other WordPress search plugins?
Most WordPress search plugins either query the local MySQL database (slow, no relevance ranking) or require you to run your own Elasticsearch/Solr instance (complex, expensive). Opensolr Search takes a different approach:
- Zero search load on WordPress — queries go directly to the Opensolr cloud, not your server
- No infrastructure to manage — no Elasticsearch cluster, no Docker, no Java. Just install and connect
- Hybrid vector + keyword search — AI embeddings combined with traditional BM25 for the best of both worlds
- Works with any theme — block themes (Twenty Twenty-Five), classic themes, custom themes
- Vector search available — AI embeddings and hybrid search are available on vector-enabled plans tailored to your needs
Getting Started
Here's the recommended path to get search up and running:
- Install the plugin on your WordPress 6.0+ site
- Connect your Opensolr account — the plugin creates a search index for you automatically
- Choose your content types — pick which post types and products to index
- Start the Web Crawler — your content gets indexed automatically
- Enable Data Ingestion — push content directly on post save (real-time, no firewall needed)
Two Ways to Index
Web Crawler
Fetches pages from your sitemap automatically. Runs on a schedule. Extracts structured data from JSON-LD, meta tags, and HTML. Best for comprehensive indexing.
Data Ingestion
Pushes content directly on post save/delete. Real-time updates within seconds. Async bulk ingestion via WordPress cron. Use both methods together for best results.
WooCommerce?
Full WooCommerce support — products are automatically indexed with prices, categories, SKUs, images, and structured product data. The search page includes a price slider, category hierarchy drill-down, and currency-formatted prices on every result.
Multilingual?
Full multilingual support with WPML and Polylang. When a multilingual plugin is active, search results are automatically filtered to the current language — no configuration needed. Documents use wildcard language matching to handle PDF language detection variations.
