详情介绍:

SearchUs (SearchUs by FunnelWon) after free or paid license activation replaces or powers your WordPress search with a dedicated index, relevance-ranked results, and a results page (SERP) you control. Until activation, visitor search on ?s= uses WordPress’s built-in search while you complete setup. It indexes pages, posts, WooCommerce products, and media (images, PDFs, videos, documents). All admin settings in this plugin are available on every plan (ranking weights, intent, SERP layout, media extraction, result injections, multi-user mode, and more). Plan differences are enforced by the SearchUs hosted service: indexed URL cap, monthly search queries, full reindex frequency, and optional removal of “Search powered by…” attribution—not by disabling plugin features in PHP. Key features

Search results page (SERP) – After license activation, redirects ?s=query to a dedicated search page (e.g. /searchus/ or /search/) with search box, result tabs (All, Images, Videos, Documents, Audio, Products), and optional list or grid layout. Works with your theme header and footer. Result reordering and injections (promoted results on the All tab) apply when you use the SearchUs SERP template under SERP → Layout, not when you use the theme’s default search template only.
Smart 404 recovery – On 404, suggests similar pages/posts/products/media based on the URL so visitors can find content instead of a dead end.
Intent and synonyms – Synonym list and intent matching so queries map to the right content (e.g. "lead gen" → "lead generation").
"Did you mean?" – When there are no results, can suggest a corrected query from the search service (returned with query results; no third-party spell-check APIs).
Ranking – Admin controls for title, H1, H2, H3+, body, and media weights; optional URL-segment and multi-token boosts; per-type caps and multipliers (pages, posts, products, images, videos, etc.). Relevance scoring runs on the SearchUs API using your saved settings.
Crawl and reindex – Sitemap-based or full reindex to build/refresh the index. Auto-crawl can keep the index updated when content changes. URL exclusions and optional class/ID exclusions for body extraction. Full reindex frequency and index size limits are enforced by the service when you hit plan quotas.
Media and products – Index and search images (with alt/title/filename), PDFs, documents, video, audio; WooCommerce product support with per-type caps and ranking multipliers. On the SearchUs SERP template, optional Buy Now on simple in-stock product cards (SERP → Layout → Ecommerce Config: checkout, cart, or off).
Safety – Settings lock to avoid accidental changes; optional local rate limits; junk-query guard blocks scanner probes before any API call (see External services).

Options

Use the SearchUs search results page (default) or "default WordPress results" so your theme's search template shows our results.
Choose which post types and media types to index, exclude URLs or DOM areas, and tune SERP layout (list/grid, excerpt length, results per page, WooCommerce Buy Now destination) and ranking from the same settings screens on all plans.

Requires PHP 7.4+. Free plans include “Search powered by FunnelWon” attribution on results where the API returns it; paid plans may remove attribution per license. No remote code execution. After license activation, the plugin communicates with FunnelWon's API for indexing, visitor search results, and license handling; usage counters support plan limits on the service. No third-party advertising or behavioral-tracking scripts for FunnelWon’s benefit.

安装:

Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/ (for example searchus/) or install via Plugins → Add New.
Activate the plugin. Complete free or paid license activation in SearchUs settings (register or paste an API key). The plugin creates a Search page; after activation, search and indexing use the SearchUs API as described in Privacy and External services. Until activation, visitor ?s= search stays on WordPress’s built-in search.
In the WordPress admin sidebar, open SearchUs – Site Search + Smart 404 Recovery to lock settings, run a full reindex, and configure SERP, ranking, and Smart 404.
Run "Full site reindex" at least once so the index is built. After that, optional auto-crawl can keep it updated.

Before the first successful reindex: With license activation complete and SearchUs handling visitor search (the default), searches are sent to the SearchUs API. If nothing has been indexed yet, visitors often see no results—the plugin does not switch back to WordPress’s built-in search in that mode. Run a full reindex as soon as setup allows. If you need core WordPress search until indexing finishes, choose Use default WordPress results page under SERP → Layout in settings.

升级注意事项:

1.0.1 Fixes license activation on Kinsta and other staging preview hosts, and on sites with plain permalinks. Update, then re-save your license in SearchUs settings if activation failed before. 1.0.0 First public release. Complete free or paid license activation in SearchUs settings, then run a full reindex so indexing and visitor search use the API.

常见问题:

Do I need to reindex?

Yes. Run a full site reindex from the plugin admin (Plugin Settings → Reindex / crawl area) after activation and when you add or change a lot of content. Optional auto-crawl can then keep the index updated when you publish or update posts/pages. After your license is activated, visitor search uses the SearchUs API (unless you chose “default WordPress results” under SERP → Layout). Until the first full reindex has completed, many sites will show empty search results—that is expected, not a fallback to WordPress’s native search. Complete a full reindex to populate the service index; use the default WordPress results option temporarily if you need the theme’s normal search while indexing is still running.

Can I use my theme's search template?

Yes. Under SERP → Layout, choose "Use default WordPress results page." After license activation, we still supply the results and ranking via the API; your theme controls the layout. Attribution may appear on the free tier per your license and API response.

What is Smart 404?

When a visitor hits a 404, the plugin can show "similar" results derived from the URL (e.g. missing product or page). Enable it under Smart 404s in settings.

Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes. Enable the product post type for indexing under Crawl → Inclusion. Product caps and ranking multipliers are under Ranking. On the SearchUs SERP template, SERP → Layout → Ecommerce Config controls the Buy Now button for simple in-stock products (checkout, cart, or off). Variable and grouped products link via the product title; external/affiliate products can show an external buy link. Buy Now requires published WooCommerce Cart and/or Checkout pages. Stock and price on the button are refreshed when search results load.

What data is sent to SearchUs by FunnelWon?

See Privacy and External services. In short: your site URL, API key (if any), plugin version, and data required for indexing/search/API are transmitted after activation as part of the service. Theme, hosting, and plugin lists are not sent automatically for support—you may be asked to provide those manually if you open a ticket. Junk scanner queries are blocked locally and are not sent.

What are the minimum requirements?

WordPress 5.9 or higher (see header above for the “Tested up to” value).
PHP 7.4 or higher (see header above).
Outbound HTTPS connectivity from your server to FunnelWon’s SearchUs API for license activation, indexing, and visitor search once setup is complete.
A modern hosting stack; curl or equivalent is used via WordPress HTTP APIs.

MySQL/MariaDB versions follow WordPress core requirements for your WordPress version.

What does “Tested up to” mean?

The Tested up to value in the plugin header is the latest WordPress release the authors have smoke-tested with this plugin version. Use a current, supported WordPress version on your site.

Why do I need license activation for search and indexing?

SearchUs is a hosted search service: indexing and ranked results run against FunnelWon’s API after a free or paid API key is stored. Until you finish activation, front-end search requests use WordPress’s default search so visitors are not routed through SearchUs for ?s= results.

Is this plugin a fork of another search plugin?

No. SearchUs by FunnelWon is developed and maintained by FunnelWon. It is not a fork of any plugin or other third-party search plugins.

Do you offer paid plans? What changes when I upgrade?

This is one plugin with the same settings UI on every plan. Upgrading means a FunnelWon / SearchUs license with higher service quotas, for example:

More indexed URLs (index cap on the API).
Higher monthly search queries (and, on paid production sites, optional metered overage per your subscription).
More frequent full reindexes when your plan allows (the service returns allowance and retry timing in usage/API responses—not hidden timers in the plugin).
Attribution removal on results where your paid license and API response allow it.

Ranking weights, intent, media extraction, SERP injections, reordering, and multi-user mode remain available in the plugin; the service applies your saved configuration when processing search and indexing. For plan comparison and pricing, see https://searchus.funnelwon.com/

Where can I find documentation?

Product and setup information are published on FunnelWon (see the Author link above). The in-plugin FAQ panel and settings descriptions explain individual controls. For WordPress.org installs, use the plugin’s support forum for general questions.

Will it work with my theme?

In most cases, yes. After license activation, the plugin adds a dedicated search page template and can redirect normal WordPress search (?s=) to it, or you can use default WordPress search results so your theme’s search template wraps our results (see SERP → Layout). You may need minor CSS adjustments so the search page matches your theme. Themes that heavily override search or use unusual routing should be tested after installation.

Where can I report bugs, request features, or get help?

WordPress.org users: use the plugin’s Support tab / forum on this listing.
License customers: use the support channel provided with your SearchUs by FunnelWon subscription (see https://searchus.funnelwon.com).

When reporting issues, include WordPress version, PHP version, active theme, and (if asked) a paste of Tools → Site Health → Info—see the Privacy section.
