How to implement search in Wordpress website?

Question

Hi, I have a self-hosted Wordpress website that I'd like to implement some sort of search option on. My website is one where people can find a certain product, or have their product listed. I need something that allows them to search by STATE and NAME OF PRODUCT, that would then list the products for them. Can someone who has experience tell me how I would go about finding a plug in or a theme that might already implement this? Thanks.

Answer 1

Hello Friend,



You can implement whatever you want in wordpress.org. Wordpress.org is a very popular and effective website and blog builder. I am suggesting you that you should build your website and blog with the help of wordpress.org. I have built my website and blog by using wordpress.org. You will get more information about wordpress from the given website.

Wordpress already has a built in search function. If it doesn't show on your theme, you'll need to either check your widgets, should be there. It's basic - not sure if it will do what you want.

of course the more places you can list / post your URL the better. However, until your site is in the top 20 or so of some of the major search engines you will never have very much traffic. good luck
