AddSearch

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Reviewers are split, one calls it a small plugin that works fine with the shortcode, while others say it's just a demo and that support went slow and never got the search working.

   We had high hopes for AddSearch, but unfortunately, it failed to meet our expectations. Despite initial discussions, their team was unable to properly adjust the tool to work with our website. We encountered multiple issues, and the promised solutions never materialized. Communication was slow, and in the end, we were left without a functional search solution. To make matters worse, we still had to pay for the subscription, even though the tool never worked for us. If your website has specific requirements, be very cautious before signing a contract with them, as they may not be able to deliver what you need. Definitely not the seamless experience we were hoping for.
