AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Ivory Search – WordPress Search Plugin is a category-leading WordPress app with an established review history. It is listed in the Ajax search category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 1,553 reviews show steady adoption but the app hasn't crossed the heavy-volume bar yet. Review accumulation at this stage tends to come from segment-specific use cases rather than universal adoption, so fit-to-stack matters more than category-leader brand recognition. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +High average rating (4.9★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +1,553 reviews provide statistical reliability for the rating average
- +Published by Vinod Dalvi — established developer track record
Cons
- −No declared third-party integrations on the listing — verify compatibility with your existing tools before installing
