Du erhältst bessere Ergebnisse und eine ansprechendere Darstellung der Ergebnisse – deine Benutzer werden es dir danken. Dies ist die kostenlose Version von Relevanssi. Es gibt außerdem Relevanssi Premium mit zusätzlichen Funktionen. Weitere Informationen zu Premium findest du unter [Relevanssi.com](https://www.relevanssi.com/). Bitte beachte, dass die Verwendung von Relevanssi viel Speicherplatz in der Datenbank beanspruchen kann (mehrere hundert Megabyte); für eine grobe Schätzung multipliziere die Größe deiner Datenbanktabelle `wp_posts` mit drei. Wenn dein Hosting-Paket nur begrenzten Speicherplatz für Datenbanktabellen bietet, kann der Einsatz von Relevanssi zu Problemen führen. In solchen Fällen ist von der Verwendung von Relevanssi abzuraten. #### Hauptfunktionen * Search results sorted in the order of relevance, not by date. * Fuzzy matching: match partial words, if complete words don’t match. * Find documents matching either just one search term (OR query) or require all words to appear (AND query). * Search for phrases with quotes, for example „search phrase“. * Create custom excerpts that show where the hit was made, with the search terms highlighted. * Highlight search terms in the documents when user clicks through search results. * Search comments, tags, categories and custom fields. * Multisite friendly. * bbPress-Unterstützung. * Kompatibel mit Gutenberg. #### Erweiterte Funktionen * Adjust the weighting for titles, tags and comments. * Log queries, show most popular queries and recent queries with no hits. * Restrict searches to categories and tags using a hidden variable or plugin settings. * Index custom post types and custom taxonomies. * Index the contents of shortcodes. * Google-style „Did you mean?“ suggestions based on successful user searches. * Support für [WPML-Mehrsprachen-Plugin](http://wpml.org/) und [Polylang](https://wordpress.org/plugins/polylang/). * Support for [s2member membership plugin](http://www.s2member.com/), [Members](https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/), [Groups](https://wordpress.org/plugins/groups/), [Simple Membership](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-membership/) and other membership plugins. * Advanced filtering to help hacking the search results the way you want. * Search result throttling to improve performance on large databases. * Disable indexing of post content and post titles with a simple filter hook. #### Premium-Funktionen (nur in Relevanssi Premium) * Indizierung von Anhangsinhalten (PDF, Office, Open Office). * Improved spelling correction in „Did you mean?“ suggestions. * Searching across multiple sites in the same multisite installation. * Search and index user profiles. * Search and index taxonomy term pages (categories, tags, custom taxonomies). * Search and index arbitrary columns in wp_posts MySQL table. * Assign weights to any post types and taxonomies. * Assign extra weight to new posts. * Let the user choose between AND and OR searches, use + and – operator (AND and NOT). * Einstellungen exportieren und importieren. * [WP-CLI-Befehle](https://www.relevanssi.com/user-manual/wp-cli/). * [Ähnliche Beiträge](https://www.relevanssi.com/knowledge-base/related-posts/). * [Weiterleitungen für Suchen](https://www.relevanssi.com/user-manual/redirects/). ### Thanks * Cristian Damm for tag indexing, comment indexing, post/page exclusion and general helpfulness. * Marcus Dalgren for UTF-8 fixing. * Warren Tape for 2.5.5 fixes. * Mohib Ebrahim for relentless bug hunting. * John Calahan for extensive 4.0 beta testing. ## Screenshots [⌊Overview page⌉⌊Overview page⌉[ Overview page [⌊Indexing settings⌉⌊Indexing settings⌉[ Indexing settings [⌊Such-Einstellungen⌉⌊Such-Einstellungen⌉[ Such-Einstellungen [⌊Protokoll-Einstellungen⌉⌊Protokoll-Einstellungen⌉[ Protokoll-Einstellungen [⌊Textauszüge und Hervorhebungen⌉⌊Textauszüge und Hervorhebungen⌉[ Textauszüge und Hervorhebungen [⌊Synonym-Einstellungen⌉⌊Synonym-Einstellungen⌉[ Synonym-Einstellungen [⌊Stoppwort-Einstellungen⌉⌊Stoppwort-Einstellungen⌉[ Stoppwort-Einstellungen ## Blöcke Dieses Plugin bietet 1 Block. * Did You Mean? Displays spelling suggestions for search queries. ## Installation 1. Installiere das Plugin aus dem WordPress-Plugins-Menü. 2. Aktiviere das Plugin. 3. Go to the plugin settings page and build the index following the instructions there. 4. Das ist alles! Relevanssi uses the standard search form and doesn’t usually need any changes in the search results template. If the search does not bring any results, your theme probably has a query_posts() call in the search results template. That throws Relevanssi off. For more information, see [The most important Relevanssi debugging trick](https://www.relevanssi.com/knowledge-base/query_posts/). #### Uninstalling To uninstall the plugin remove the plugin using the normal WordPress plugin management tools (from the Plugins page, first Deactivate, then Delete). If you remove the plugin files manually, the database tables and options will remain. ## FAQ ### Wissensdatenbank You can find solutions and answers at the [Relevanssi Knowledge Base](https://www.relevanssi.com/category/knowledge-base/). ### Kontextabhängige Hilfe Answers to many common problems can be found from the contextual menu. Just click„ Help“ in the top right corner of your WordPress admin dashboard on the Relevanssi settings page. ### Relevanssi doesn’t work If you the results don’t change after installing and activating Relevanssi, the most likely reason is that you have a call to `query_posts()` on your search results template. This confuses Relevanssi. Try removing the `query_posts()` call and see what happens. ### Searching for words with ampersands or hyphens doesn’t work Please read [Words with punctuation can’t be found](https://www.relevanssi.com/knowledge-base/words-ampersands-cant-found/). This is a Relevanssi feature, but you can fix it from Relevanssi indexing settings. ### Where are the user search logs? Schau oben im Admin-Menü nach. Dort gibt es den Punkt „Suche nach Bentuzer“. ### Displaying the relevance score Relevanssi stores the relevance score it uses to sort results in the $post variable. Just add something like ``` echo $post->relevance_score ``` to your search results template inside a PHP code block to display the relevance score. ### Did you mean? suggestions Relevanssi bietet Vorschläge nach dem Muster „Meinst du …?“ von Google an. Weitere Informationen findest du unter [„Meinst du …?“-Vorschläge](https://www.relevanssi.com/knowledge-base/did-you-mean-suggestions/) in der Wissensdatenbank. ### What is tf * idf weighing? It’s the basic weighing scheme used in information retrieval. Tf stands for _term frequency_ while idf is _inverted document frequency_. Term frequency is simply the number of times the term appears in a document, while document frequency is the number of documents in the database where the term appears. Thus, the weight of the word for a document increases the more often it appears in the document and the less often it appears in other documents. ### Was sind Stoppwörter? Each document database is full of useless words. All the little words that appear in just about every document are completely useless for information retrieval purposes. Basically, their inverted document frequency is really low, so they never have much power in matching. Also, removing those words helps to make the index smaller and searching faster. ## Rezensionen ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/628acae47759cddb5117de304f3e6ba62b3af38e921bd2188c44b7a34887fdce? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Le meilleur !](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/le-meilleur-24/)󠁿 [evolute2](https://profiles.wordpress.org/evolute2/) 19.

November 2025 Been using it for years on various big sites, multisite networks, etc that I've developed and it will always be my go-to search plugin. Works fantastically out of the box!- Great search results- Fast and light on your server resources- So many useful customisation options available in admin- PDF/Doc Indexing in Premium is ♥️But where it really comes into its own league, is when you have special requirements that no plugin could serve out of the box. There are loads of useful filters and actions to hook into, all super well documented. The Plugin code itself is very clean and readable, so if your requirement is really obscure you can always look under the hood and see what's possible. (Usually anything is possible one way or the other.)And if you still get stuck, the support is the best.Hands down one of true unicorns in a world of plugin enshittification.Never change, Mikko!
