Description

With Boolean Search, SearchWP gains Boolean search interpretation, allowing excluding results by keyword with a hyphen before the term and also recognizing queries with the NOT operator in the standard search form. The extension is useful for those managing catalogs, content bases, or internal areas with many entries who need to reduce unwanted results without creating manual filters for each search.

Main Features of Boolean Search

  • Term exclusion
    Removes results containing words preceded by a hyphen in the search.
  • NOT operator
    Recognizes queries with NOT syntax to filter unwanted terms.
  • No configuration
    Works after activation, without creating additional screens or fields.
  • Familiar syntax
    Allows searches like a main term followed by specific exclusions.
  • Integration with SearchWP
    Extends the search engine already configured in the base plugin.

Benefits of Boolean Search

  • More precise results
    Helps remove irrelevant content from very broad searches.
  • Less manual adjustments
    Reduces the need to create separate filters for each scenario.
  • More direct search
    Makes refined queries easier for those who know which terms to avoid.
  • Preserved workflow
    Adds Boolean logic without changing the existing search structure.

Who Is Boolean Search For?

  • Those managing article libraries who need to exclude recurring terms from queries.
  • Sites with extensive catalogs that rely on more refined internal search.
  • Users already using SearchWP who want to accept Boolean syntax in site searches.

How to Download Boolean Search

The Boolean Search is available for download here at Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the package, and activate. Keep SearchWP installed and active for the extension to work.

Boolean Search fits well on sites where internal search needs to handle ambiguous terms, content variations, and more specific queries. By accepting exclusions directly in the searched phrase, the addon adds a practical control layer to SearchWP, maintaining a simple workflow for those who publish, organize, and query large volumes of content.
