What it does
Visitors who want to find videos usually leave your site to search elsewhere. This plugin keeps that search on your own pages. It generates a video search engine inside your WordPress site, so people can look up video content and browse the results without heading off to another service. It fits blogs, media sites and online portfolios where video discovery is a natural part of what readers come for, and it can run with little ongoing attention once it is in place.
You control how the search engine looks and what the results show. The interface can be restyled with CSS so it matches your branding, and result titles, URLs, descriptions and images are editable. For site owners who want to earn from the page, ads, links, images or HTML ad provider code such as AdSense can be placed directly between search results. The layout is responsive and retina ready, so it displays well on desktops and phones.
Best for
- Blogs that want an on-site video search page
- Media sites built around video discovery
- Site owners monetizing search pages with ad codes
