SearchWP: Term Archive Priority 1.2.2
SearchWP Term Archive Priority boosts term archive pages to appear at the top of search results when a match is found. This WordPress extension prioritizes relevance for term archives, delivering faster, more targeted results for users. A great choice for streamlined navigation and improved discovery across your site.
Description
SearchWP Term Archive Priority is a WordPress plugin designed to improve how your site surfaces taxonomy term archives during search. When a visitor searches for content associated with a term, this extension prioritizes the related term archive pages in the results.
It helps solve a common navigation problem: searches that return individual posts or products but don’t reliably guide users to the most relevant category, tag, or other term archive. By boosting term archive visibility, you can make discovery feel more direct across your WordPress site and taxonomy structure, including setups using SearchWP supplemental search engines.
