Predictive Search for WooCommerce

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 · 46% 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.

   This plugin works perfectly for a WP site with large numbers of pages and products. I’m still looking for the possibility to export / import its configuration. Thanks to the developer

   This plugin is the worst search plugin we have tested. It is slow and takes down SEO. Support is non-excisting. Save your time.

   One of those plugins that acts more as a demo than a plugin. If you can’t search by SKU without paying for a premium version, then i deem this plugin not worthy.

   This looks like a really great plugin but, unfortunately, it only works from a sidebar widget. I need a search option to go on the main menu. I am developing sites with the modern long page format without sidebars so this won’t work for me. I’ll keep looking Ken
