How Super Speedy Search differs from Doofinder

All plugins from Super Speedy Plugins share a SQL-first architecture and an uncompromising focus on performance — and Super Speedy Search is no different. Here is what sets it apart:

Super Speedy Search brings fast and relevant search results to your users and your oft-forgotten site admins. Don’t pull your hair out with basic search which matches too many things, and doesn’t sort them properly.

Our search weights are fully customizable, and we even have our own custom-coded ajax handler to bring ULTRA-fast ajax to your WordPress website.

How to choose between Doofinder and Super Speedy Search?

Doofinder delivers polished results but introduces a dependency on an external service and variable per-search pricing that scales with your traffic. Super Speedy Search keeps everything inside your own WordPress database, using a SQL-first architecture that avoids third-party data transfer entirely. Every release is tested against a one-million-product WooCommerce store, so performance holds at scale. Try it free on staging and see how it compares to what you are running today.

Amazing plugin to create comprehensive and the fastest search for WP. It looks great and does exactly what the information says it will! After testing many pro search plugin, we found that SuperSpeedSearch was the only that could handle the amount of our products (300k+)! The support we received was fantastic–very timely and helpful! Any question & problem we’ve had has been answered & resolved. We were looking for a very advanced plugin and this plugin has helped us do just about everything we were looking for and more. Keep going wpintense team!!!

I have been using Scalability Pro (also made by WP Intense) for a good few years now with no complaints and recently added Super Speedy Search and their Super Speedy Filters to our site. Super Speedy Search is working great on our site which has a hundred or so products, but the products have quite a lot of variations on them. Previously loading the full search results page was getting quite slow. Now with Super Speedy Search, when the customer hits enter or clicks to see all of the products from their search results it displays that page much quicker than any other plugin we have used previously. I'm very pleased with this, it is like some sort of performance wizardry! Customer service is great too and being able to get help from the discord server is very quick and convenient.

I have been using Super Speedy Filters few years now and would recommend it to anyone running a large WooCommerce store. The filters are rapid compared to default WordPress ones and support is second to none. 10/10
