Biggest opportunity: “auto category”, “auto tag” and “categories” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 4.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Search plugin keeps 0.7%, across 647 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Search plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |

| auto category your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| auto tag your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| categories your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Directory rank
Ranked about #30,400 to #44,800, alongside the other plugins at 10+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.

Hi! Is the pluggin only allowed to filter a post once? I created a post I made for a test, which contained all possible categories my site uses. I launched the pluggin’s action with a few entered keywods, It worked and the categories appeared in the post, but once I tried entering more keywords in the pluggin settings, the test post couldnt be detected and filtered once again. Is this on purpose or am I missing something? Thank you!

I am pulling input via RSS-Feed, and this plugin was supposed to categorize automatically. However that doesn’t work at all. Set up filter, let it run manually and automatically, but still posts with Keyword “X” in the title appear in the wrong category.

May I suggest: 1. Only matches keywords in the content of the post, not the title. Now very useful for tagging RSS posts that only show an excerpt, most of the significant information being enclosed in the title 2. Categories are pre-populated with their child categories as keywords. Not usefull to me, as a post tagged in a sub-category will show up in the parent category. It would make more sense to pre-populate the categories’ keywords with the category name itslef. 3. Deleting a keyword asks for confirmation every time. This is particulary annoying… when you want to get rid of the numerous pre-populated keywords! I’d get rid of the confirmation dialog. What you could do is mark the keyword as deleted (with the ability to re-click to undo) until the save button is hit. 4. Be aware that all the work you have done deleting and adding keywords will be definitely lost if you change tabs before hitting the save button. That alone, when unaware, is enough frustrating to get rid of the plugin. 5. Other possible improvement: preserve the category hierarchy, make display more compact, and make keywords drag-and-droppable across categories. 6. Other suggestion: add an option to put the menu entry under the Tools menu. I understand people want to find the plugin they just installed, but all those plugins bloating the admin menu get a bit annoying. Just my two cents, but otherwise I think this plugin is on the right track. I’m just trying to provide constructive criticism.

So I need to update posts that contain a specific phrase such as this: ____x___ ____x___ ___x____ GRANT FULL RELIEF and assign it to an existing tag such as Full relief I enter the phrase with quotes “____x___ ____x___ ___x____ GRANT FULL RELIEF” in the Full relief Tag. I set “the limit of keyword filter” to 1 I hit action and it says “No post is arranged into tags” When using a phrase, should I leave out the quotes?
