SearchWP Related

Description

The Related addon connects SearchWP relevance indexing to related content blocks in posts, pages, and custom post types, generating lists based on the same scoring algorithm used by the site’s search. It’s for anyone who already maintains extensive content indexed by SearchWP and wants to replace generic related posts plugins with suggestions aligned to the relevance configured in the main plugin’s engines.

Key Features of Related

• Use of the SearchWP index
  Reuses the indexing already set up to calculate similarity between content.
• Support for multiple post types
  Works with posts, pages, and custom post types registered in WordPress.
• PHP function for templates
  Provides a PHP call to insert the related block directly into theme files.
• Choice of source engine
  Lets you define which SearchWP engine serves as the basis for the relevance calculation.
• Relevance-weighted results
  Applies weights for title, content, taxonomies, and custom fields according to the rules already active.

Benefits of Related

• More accurate suggestions
  The related items reflect the article’s real content, not just shared categories.
• Fewer accumulated plugins
  No need to install a separate related posts plugin in the panel.
• Longer reading time
  Readers find related content and explore more articles per session.
• Centralized configuration
  Adjustments made in SearchWP engines automatically reflect in the related lists.

Who Is Related Intended For?

• Anyone who runs editorial blogs or news portals that need to keep readers between articles.
• Extensive content sites that already rely on SearchWP for internal search and want to use the same index.
• Anyone publishing in segmented custom post types and wants cross-relations between them (cases, recipes, editorial products).

How to Download Related

The Related is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin, select the file, and activate it. With SearchWP already configured, the related function is ready to use in theme templates and in panel widgets.

For sites that already invest in SearchWP search, Related carries the same relevance criterion for internal navigation between posts. The result is a content discovery layer that reuses engines, attributes, and already calibrated weights, avoids configuration duplication, and keeps consistency between what readers search for and what they receive as suggestions at the end of each reading.
