Overview of Searchie

How Super Speedy Search differs from Searchie

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 Searchie and Super Speedy Search?

While Searchie serves a specific niche around media content discovery, stores with large product catalogues have different requirements. Super Speedy Search is built specifically for WooCommerce and WordPress, with a SQL-first architecture that queries your own database directly — no external service, no data sync, no latency introduced by a third-party API. Tested against one-million-product catalogues before every release, it handles the search demands of high-volume e-commerce stores. Try the free trial on your staging site to see the difference.

This is really a game-changer for searching (products in my case) faster. It dropped a product search from 45 sec+ to 2-3 sec in combination with Scalability Pro. This is used on a website with 3000 products and as much variation. When you want to make your search faster, this is the plugin you need!

Game changing plugin with fantastic and responsive support. Our operation is currently small in scope when compared to other sites powered by Super Speed Search, however, we now have the confidence that we can continue to grow our catalog without destroying Woo's performance.
