Description
Relevanssi is designed to enhance your WordPress search experience by replacing the standard search engine with a more powerful one, offering a wide array of features and customizable options. You can expect superior search results and improved presentation, ultimately leading to greater user satisfaction.
It’s important to note that implementing Relevanssi may necessitate a significant amount of database space, often in the hundreds of megabytes. To estimate the additional space required, you can roughly multiply the size of your wp_posts database table by three. If your hosting environment has limited database space, using Relevanssi may lead to potential issues. In such cases, the use of Relevanssi may not be recommended.
