Biggest opportunity: “multi platform voice search”, “voice” and “voice search” 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 200 of 11.9K 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.
Removal-risk signals

- Long abandoned. No update in 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

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.

Directory rank
Ranked about #11,300 to #12,900, alongside the other plugins at 200+ 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 21 Oct 2026.
Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

The voice search is second to none. It is highly accurate even with complex words I thought it wouldn’t be able to understand. People are using search more often on my website to find more content. I can’t wait to deploy this to one of my client’s eCommerce websites as I know it will help them improve the shopping experience.

Great plugin. Adds voice search to the wordpress page with a single click. It supports 130 languages. It adds a floating mic in case your template doesn’t support a search bar. You can even customize the floating mic under settings. Don’t forget to adjust your language under settings. I had to flush my WP cache after I changed the language. Works really well.
