FacetWP Relevanssi integration 0.8.2

FacetWP Relevanssi integration connects FacetWP search facets with the Relevanssi search plugin in WordPress. It’s designed to make filtered results match the way Relevanssi improves search relevance. Instead of using only the default WordPress query behavior, the integration works with Relevanssi’s dedicated search index stored in the database. This helps users get answers that feel more accurate when they refine categories, taxonomies, or other facet filters.

For site builders using WordPress, WooCommerce, or custom layouts with Elementor, it supports a smoother “search + filter” experience. The result is easier discovery of products and content, with relevance that stays consistent as people narrow down results.

Main Features

• Relevanssi index alignment — Uses the Relevanssi-maintained search index to keep filtered output consistent with improved search relevance.
• FacetWP search facets support — Applies FacetWP facet filters while preserving Relevanssi’s relevancy improvements.
• Smarter relevancy matching — Reduces mismatches between what users search for and what facet selections return.
• WordPress query integration — Connects the search flow inside WordPress so facet-driven browsing works with Relevanssi results.
• Database-driven improvements — Leverages the database index strategy Relevanssi uses to enhance result quality.
• Seamless setup for FacetWP users — Designed to integrate directly into an existing FacetWP + Relevanssi setup with minimal friction.

Benefits

• More relevant results — Facet filters stay aligned with Relevanssi’s improved relevance scoring.
