How is WordPress FullText Search built?

The inbuilt ("standard") search in WordPress simply searches through all posts on your website, comparing the search request with the title and posts' content. The more files (posts, pages, etc.) the site has, the slower the search process will be. For example, if you website contains more than 10000 posts the search process can take from a few seconds to tens of seconds! It is not convenient for an end user and heavily overloads a server.

WordPress FullText Search plugin provides a background scan of all data (posts and pages) on your site, splitting them into separate words and writing a systematized structure in separate tables of database (the so-called "index"). At the same time, the search significantly speeds up because the index for the requested word (or the combination of words) immediately shows the list of all files where this word is used. Such algorithm works hundred, if not thousand times faster than the standard search. That is why a similar algorithm is used by Yandex, Google, Facebook, VKontakte and other popular search engines.

The complete search index is built once - after the first activation of the plugin. Thereafter WPFTS plugin will correct the data in the created index during adding, editing or deleting of posts/pages in a "clear" automatic mode.

The search index is saved and stored in a separate database. Your original data remains unchanged.

How does WPFTS expand the search abilities?

Besides speeding up the search due to the use of the index, WPFTS allows significantly expansion of the search abilities. The standard abilities of WordPress are limited to searching through Title of the post (post_title) and Content (post_content). WPFTS allows indexing and provides an added the search through meta-tags and any other text that you might include in the index.

With the help of the special filter wpfts_index_post you can add any data into the index in its building phase and afterwards the plugin will also search through this data. It may be useful to include files with a special format that are not usually scanned during a standard text search such as PDF files, Excel or Microsoft Word documents, into the search index.

The plugin package includes the page "Sandbox". Using this feature, you can do a test search through the indexed data and see what files will be added into the index based on your filter.

What are the requirements to the website hosting?

WordPress FullText Search plugin is written in PHP and uses MySQL databases. The requirements should be fulfilled by your hosting service (as well as by WordPress CMS itself). If your hosting service already supports the WordPress system, this means it will be good enough for WPFTS to function as well.

You won't have to install any additional indexing servers. If you use low cost shared-hosting, WPFTS will still work perfectly!

Some space is required for databases used by the search index. The volume of the memory required is approximately 50-60% of the memory used by your content (posts, pages). WPFTS sorts words into groups so that the data occupies less memory space.
