Make your WordPress website data
fully searchable.
The FullText Search plugin has been developed specifically for WordPress. It creates a transparent, word-based index to ease the search, adds relevance, makes meta fields and attachment files searchable by their content and even more.
The PDF, DOC, DOCX, and other formats are supported.
It complements the built-in WP search, rather than completely redefining it, unlike other search engines for WP.
This means that all functions of WP and even 3rd-party plugins will use a new indexed search without any modifications.
No need to rent an external service to store the search index - everything is located and works from your database.
How Does It Work?
A modern two-stage search approach
(this method is also used by Google, Yandex, Bing, and other popular search engines)

STAGE #1: Data Indexing
Immediately after activation, the plugin will extract all data from your website database (posts, meta fields, categories, tags, attachments' content, etc) and put it to a separate high-optimized structure, called "Word-based Search Index".
The same MySQL database is used, but other tables.
Unlike Google or Bing, WPFTS Pro processes the internal data of the site, not HTML webpages. Thanks to this, even protected data is indexed and made available for search.
STAGE #2: Search and Display
When the website user makes the search, the plugin dynamically improves the standard WordPress search functionality (WP_Query) using hooks so WP uses the Word-based Index to search textual data. Thus all previously indexed data become searchable like usual posts.


Finally, the WPFTS plugin shows found records in a user-friendly manner (like Google does) using your existing theme page. You don't need to change any template for this. Even the attachment files will be magically shown in search results!

Some More Details
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.
