What to look at when choosing
- Typing or clicking. SearchWP, Relevanssi Premium and Ajax Search Pro work from a query that visitors type, while FacetWP and Search & Filter Pro work through facets and filter forms.
- What is being searched. Archives, products or directory listings each have plugins written for them, and the descriptions say which.
