    Would it be possible in a future version to disable the heat map while still using the plugin? (Or is this already available, though not advertised?)

      Currently you need to manually make the changes in the template_redirect function in better-search.php

      However, a later version will include support for template files. So, you can customize exactly how you want to customize your site.

    I’m gonna kick myself. I’ve been looking for a better search plugin for a while now and it’s been staring me in the face. :-(

    Does it work out which posts to display first based on what has been searched for/clicked on in the past?

    A system which ties in with Google to work out which of your posts is most relevant to the search term would be totally awesome, but I suspect that would be quite complicated to setup and would probably breach Googles TOS :(

      If you want to use Google for results, then your best bet is to use the Google Custom Search Engine that allows you to use Google to search the site.

    Looks like it could use some work still.. Searching for “wordpress” on your site returns 0 results.

    I like the built-in date-based WordPress search. Relevance is subjective. I’ve given Google-based Lijit a shot a few times, but always find myself back to the default service. If this had some sort of relevance/date toggle like Engadget or Gizmodo, I’d think about it. But search works well enough for me to mostly not mess with.

    Thanks for this, it is really useful search plugin. :)

    If you search for “Better Search Plugin”, this very same page appears fourth… maybe a little tweaking is still needed?

    Great effort, though. WordPress’ built-in search is far from perfect.
