Ninoxa Live Search for WordPress Plugin Directory
Ninoxa Live Search is a WordPress Plugin Directory app by Mohammad Anbarestany.
AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Ninoxa Live Search is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). 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
- +Published by Mohammad Anbarestany — established developer track record
Cons
- −No public reviews yet — fit and reliability are unverified

How Ninoxa Live Search works
Show full descriptionShow less
Ninoxa Live Search adds an accessible, real-time AJAX-powered live search to your WordPress site. It supports multilingual sites via Polylang and WPML.
Use a standard WordPress search form; results appear below the input.
Min query: 3 chars. Shows configurable number of results (defaults to 10) + a “More results…” link.
Manage plugin options from the Ninoxa Live Search admin menu.
The default shortcut is Ctrl + /, and you can replace it with your own key combination or disable it completely.
Optional type-to-search: when enabled, typing two characters outside any input focuses the search field and inserts the text. Works in Firefox even when find-as-you-type is enabled.
Features:
* Real-time search results as you type
* Frontend matching modes (keyword, any word, exact phrase, whole word, fuzzy) using the native WordPress search engine; fuzzy mode tolerates one-character typos via edit-distance-1 LIKE patterns
* AJAX-powered with nonce security
* Polylang and WPML compatible
* Accessible (ARIA attributes)
* Configurable keyboard shortcut
* Optional type-to-search (focus search when typing two characters outside any input; disabled by default; works in Firefox)
* Optional focus outline on the search field (can be turned off to keep the theme’s focus styles)
* Lightweight and fast
Keyboard Shortcuts Global:
Ctrl + / by default: Focus the Ninoxa Live Search input
Keyboard shortcut can be customized or disabled from the Ninoxa Live Search admin menu
Type-to-search (opt-in):
When enabled in settings, typing two printable characters in quick succession anywhere on the page (outside inputs, textareas, and contenteditable regions) focuses the search field and inserts the typed text
Keys are captured before the browser, so this works in Firefox even when “Search for text when you start typing” is enabled
A lone keypress is ignored, so accidental single-key bumps do not hijack focus
Works alongside the keyboard shortcut above; disabled by default
Inactive on touch-first devices
Search results:
Arrow Up/Down: Navigate through search results
Enter: Select highlighted result
Escape: Close search results
Tab: Move focus into the matching mode bar (keeps results open)
Matching modes (while the search field or results are focused):
Alt+1, Alt+2, …: Select the matching mode in that position (shown as a number on each button)
Arrow Left/Right: Move between matching modes when a mode button is focused
Home/End: Jump to first / last mode
Enter / Space: Activate the focused mode
Escape: Return focus to the search input
