A fast and flexible search and query engine for WordPress.
Please note: as of ElasticPress 4.0.0 trunk
is the stable branch, built assets were removed from the develop
branch, a ZIP with the plugin and its built assets are available on the GitHub Releases page, and will include a build script should you want to build assets from a branch. As such, please ensure you have updated any references you have from master
to trunk
or to GitHub releases depending on whether you require built assets or not.
ElasticPress, a fast and flexible search and query engine for WordPress, enables WordPress to find or “query” relevant content extremely fast through a variety of highly customizable features. WordPress out-of-the-box struggles to analyze content relevancy and can be very slow. ElasticPress supercharges your WordPress website making for happier users and administrators. The plugin even contains features for popular plugins.
ElasticPress requires these software with the following versions:
The WooCommerce feature is compatible with the last two major versions of the WooCommerce plugin.
Simply downloading the repository files is not enough to have the plugin working, as CSS and JavaScript files are built during the release process. If you want to use a development version of the plugin you will to run:
npm install && npm run build
Node.js (v14) and npm (v8) are required.

If you identify any errors or have an idea for improving the plugin, please open an issue. We're excited to see what the community thinks of this project, and we would love your input!
Active: 10up is actively working on this, and we expect to continue work for the foreseeable future including keeping tested up to the most recent version of WordPress. Bug reports, feature requests, questions, and pull requests are welcome.
A complete listing of all notable changes to ElasticPress are documented in CHANGELOG.md.
Search Algorithm Upgrade Notice: Version 3.5 includes a revamp of the search algorithm. This is a backwards compatibility break. If you'd like to revert to the old search algorithm, you can use the following code: add_filter( 'ep_search_algorithm_version', function() { return '3.4'; } );
. The new algorithm offers much more relevant search results and removes fuzziness which results in mostly unwanted results for most people. If you are hooking in and modifying the search query directly, it's possible this code might break and you might need to tweak it.
Note that ElasticPress 4.0.0 release removes built assets from the develop
branch, replaced master
with trunk
, added a ZIP with the plugin and its built assets in the GitHub Releases page, and included a build script should you want to build assets from a branch. As such, please plan to update any references you have from master
to trunk
or to GitHub Releases depending on whether you require built assets or not.
