Overview
Enterprise Search is an Elasticsearch-powered service built into WordPress VIP for high-performance sites with large content libraries.
Queries run on a dedicated service, so the rest of your application stays fast under load. Developers customize search behavior with faceting, aggregation, and custom indexing, while editors and visitors benefit from faster, more accurate results.
“The search is definitely one of the standout features of the new site. It’s a unique and detailed, faceted search that exposes people to all our content.”
– David Rousseau, Vice President, KFF
