Biggest opportunity: Swap “product search”, “search” and “woocommerce search” for “search by sku”, “word search” and “search replace database”. “product search” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “search by sku” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “search” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “word search” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce search” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “search replace database” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →3.3%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 6.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Search plugin keeps 0.7%, across 645 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.
This plugin shipped 29 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ rszkaw8mo ago
I installed Queryra on a WooCommerce store to test how it handlesnatural language queries. The difference compared to default WordPresssearch is night and day. Typed “gift for dad who likes cooking” — got relevant kitchen products.Default search? Zero results. That alone sold me on it. Setup took about 5 minutes — install the plugin, connect, and the AIstarts indexing automatically. No API keys to configure, no serversetup needed. The semantic search is genuinely impressive — it understands intent,not just keywords. Searched for “something warm for winter” and itreturned jackets and sweaters without those exact words in the titles. Support from the developer is fast and personal. You can tell this isbuilt by someone who actually cares about the product. Highly recommended for any WooCommerce store where customers struggleto find what they’re looking for.
