WordPress search
WordPress search can’t find it? DigiSeer answers.
The search built into WordPress only finds the exact words typed. “How much does it cost?”: no results, even though your Pricing page exists. DigiSeer understands the question, finds the right pages and writes the answer, with sources.
Try it: ask a question about DigiSeer.
The problem
What WordPress search can’t do.
Understand a question
It looks for the exact words. A question written as a full sentence often finds nothing.
Forgive a typo
“instal” does not find “install”. The visitor concludes the information doesn’t exist.
Switch languages
A question in French does not find your English pages, or the other way round.
Read your ACF fields
The content of your custom fields is ignored by the built-in search.
Answer
It shows a list of links: the visitor has to open the pages one by one to find the information.
Tell you what’s missing
Searches leave no trace: you don’t know what your visitors could not find.
The proof
Same site, same questions.
Questions asked on the DigiSeer site, with WordPress search then with DigiSeer (checked on 4 November 2026). DigiSeer then writes the answer from these pages.

Nothing to change
Your search icon, connected to DigiSeer.
DigiSeer replaces the WordPress search results with a page containing the chat. Your theme’s search icon and the search widget lead to it, and the searched words are asked to the chat right away. Your theme doesn’t change.
- Install the plugin and index your content.
- Open DigiSeer → Search page and click Create the search page.
- Your visitors search as before: they get an answer instead of a list.
Good to know
Before you start.
- Reliable answers. DigiSeer only answers from your pages. If the information is missing, it tells the visitor, and the question shows in your dashboard: you know what to add to your site.
- Controlled costs. Answers use tokens, included in your plan. The Free plan is enough for a small site, with no credit card, and an e-mail warns you before the limit.
- Several languages. On a multilingual site, create one search page per language: each visitor gets the chat in their own.
