AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Search Tools – Advanced Search Analytics, Highlight, Extend, Disable is a category-leading 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. 2 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. 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 (5.0★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +Published by Peter Stehlík — established developer track record
Cons

How Search Tools – Advanced Search Analytics, Highlight, Extend, Disable works
Show full descriptionShow less
Highlights search term (customizable colours), collects search analytics (privacy friendly), extends default search engine or disable search completely. WP Search Tools, brand new 2024 WordPress plugin, is a collection of useful improvements to the site search functionality if used or not.
Search Analytics Do you know what people search for on your website, actually?
WordPress core doesn’t store any statistical data, but the WP Search Tools plugin shows detailed insights about the history of searched terms. The Insights is a great analytics tool which tells you what users really look for. No personal data is saved.
There are 3 overviews:
1) All Users
2) Logged in
3) Guests (not logged in users)
Each overview data is represented by a graph and popularity lists.
The graph data can customized and exported either as an image (.svg or .png) or as a .csv file. Most frequent search terms are sorted by a date: ‘today’, ‘last 7 days’, ‘last 30 days’, ‘this year’, ‘overall’.
Highlight Search Term In the search results page, the search term is highlighted with a smooth, eye-catching CSS animation. The highlight feature is activated by default.
User experience is enhanced and visual mark speeds up finding relevant information. Furthermore, highlight settings are customizable, both background colour and text colour can be set in the WordPress administration options page.
Extend Search Free version of the plugin extends the default search engine. It allows searching in custom post types, taxonomies, authors and meta data. All these data of the website are hidden to the basic WordPress search engine and cannot be reached via search functionality.
The results are ordered by relevance not post date. The settings can be customized to fit exact needs. It is possible to choose which post types, meta data or taxonomies should be included in the search.
Disable Search The plugin prevents WordPress from allowing and handling any search requests from the front-end of the site. If search is not used on the website, it is useful to disable it completely. The seach form is hidden, if called with a standard get_search_form() function, the search requests redirect to a 404 error page. The setting is customizable, you can turn it on/off.
