详情介绍:

Rankology Ajax Live Search upgrades the native WordPress search experience with fast, modern AJAX results, a dedicated relevance index, and a polished admin workflow. Visitors get instant suggestions as they type; site owners get visibility into what people search for and what they cannot find. Built for production sites and WordPress.org plugin directory standards, Rankology is suitable for blogs, business websites, membership portals, and WooCommerce stores that need accurate, configurable search without slowing down the front end.

升级注意事项:

1.0.0 Initial release of Rankology Ajax Live Search. After updating, rebuild the search index from Rankology → Configuration → Indexing if you are upgrading from a pre-release build.

常见问题:

Does Rankology work with WooCommerce?

Yes. Rankology can include WooCommerce products in search results, display product prices where appropriate, and apply relevance weighting to SKU and product fields when WooCommerce is active.

Does this replace the default WordPress search?

Rankology does not remove WordPress core search automatically. You place the Rankology search bar where you want it — via block, shortcode, or widget — and can customize the on-site search results template for a complete replacement experience.

How do I add search to my theme header?

Create a Search Widget in Rankology → Search Widgets, copy its shortcode, and paste it into your header template, a block theme header pattern, or a hook-friendly location. You can also use the Rankology Search Gutenberg block in the site editor.

What is a Search Widget?

A Search Widget is an independent search configuration. Each widget can target different post types, use a different layout or theme, enable its own filters, and override relevance weights — useful when a shop search and a blog search need different behavior.

Will Rankology slow down my site?

Rankology is built for performance. Search queries use a dedicated index and cached responses where appropriate, and the public endpoint includes rate limiting. Initial indexing runs in the background and can be managed from the admin or WP-CLI.

Can I see what visitors search for?

Yes. Enable search analytics and visit Rankology → Analytics & Logs for top queries, trending terms, zero-result searches, and individual log entries. Data can be exported for reporting.

What are query redirect rules?

Redirect rules let you send specific search queries (exact or pattern-based) to a custom URL — for campaigns, synonyms, or steering users to the right landing page. Rules can be scoped by user role and language where configured.

Is there a REST API?

Yes. Rankology exposes REST endpoints under rankajlisrh/v1 for search, click tracking, and redirect management — suitable for headless WordPress and custom front ends.

Can I migrate from another search plugin?

Yes. Rankology includes migration tools under Rankology → Configuration → Migration for Ajax Search Pro and SearchWP.

Does Rankology work on multisite?

Yes. Network-aware settings synchronization is available for WordPress multisite installations.

Do I need extra libraries for PDF or DOCX indexing?

Yes, if you want file content indexing beyond plain TXT files. Install smalot/pdfparser for PDF support and phpoffice/phpword for DOCX support via Composer on your server. Rankology detects them automatically when available. They are not bundled with the plugin.

Does Rankology bundle React or other JavaScript frameworks?

No. The admin dashboard hub uses WordPress core packages (wp-element, wp-components, wp-i18n). Frontend scripts are custom and depend on jQuery, which WordPress provides.

Does Rankology send data to external services?

When Google-style autocomplete is enabled, partial search terms are sent to Google's public suggest API (suggestqueries.google.com) to retrieve suggestion phrases. Responses are cached locally with WordPress transients. All other search, indexing, and analytics data stays on your WordPress site unless you configure email reports through your own mail server via wp_mail().
