Control the search scope end to end: which post types are indexed, whether custom fields, taxonomy names, and comments count as searchable text, how much each field influences ranking, and how forgiving the matching is. Scope changes rebuild the index automatically.
Choosing Which Post Types Get Searched
Posts and pages are indexed by default; add products, docs, or any public post type.
How to Make Custom Fields Searchable
Index ACF, Meta Box, and standard meta fields so their values match searches.
How to Search Taxonomies and Comments
Category and tag names match by default; comments join the index when you switch them on.
Decide whether title, content, excerpt, taxonomy, custom field, or comment matches rank first.
How to Configure Fuzzy Matching
Off, Soft, Normal, or Hard: control how forgiving matching is toward typos.
