The WordPress.com Business plan combines fully managed hosting with the freedom to grow and scale your site without limits. Today we're adding Jetpack Search to WordPress.com Business so you can enjoy powerful and fast on-site search functionality as part of your plan.
Once you activate Jetpack Search, you'll be using the same search engine powering some of the largest sites on the web. Jetpack Search provides a more engaging experience for your visitors: it relies on modern search algorithms that take phrase matches and the recency of your content into consideration, which in turn produces better search results.
In addition to more relevant matches, you can also configure the Jetpack Search sidebar widget to let your visitors sort their results or filter them by tags, categories, dates, and post types.
Whether you run a news site or sell products on your online store, a more engaging search experience will help readers and customers dig deeper into the content on your site and keep them there for longer visits.
As recently as three years ago, our enhanced search functionality was a $6,000-a-year add-on to our enterprise plan; we've since been able to scale the service and can now offer it as part of a Business plan that costs a fraction of the original price. Moreover, most search solutions come with limits on the total number of indexed posts or the number of monthly queries. Just like the rest of your WordPress.com Business site, unlimited is the name of the game. We want your business to be successful, so we don't place arbitrary limits on the amount of content or number of searches that your visitors can run.
You can join the thousands of websites already using Jetpack Search by upgrading your site to WordPress.com Business today.
