SearchWP BetterDocs Integration

Description

The BetterDocs Integration addon connects BetterDocs knowledge base articles to SearchWP’s index, registering the docs post type, doc_category and doc_tag taxonomies, and custom fields from the documentation as searchable sources. Designed for those managing help centers, FAQs, or wikis in WordPress who want the internal search to deliver relevant documentation results alongside posts, pages, and products.

How to Download BetterDocs Integration

BetterDocs Integration is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin in the WordPress dashboard, select the file, and activate the extension. With SearchWP and BetterDocs already installed, the new source will appear in the search engine settings.

Combining SearchWP’s relevance engine with BetterDocs’ organized knowledge base structure, BetterDocs Integration transforms internal search into a true self-service tool. It is the natural choice for sites whose documentation volume has grown enough that WordPress’ native search falls short of visitor expectations.
