WP Search with Algolia Pro

WP Search with Algolia Pro is our premium add-on, built by the same team. It runs alongside this plugin and picks up where the free version stops.

Index any custom field, no code required. (New in Pro 1.7) Drag custom fields into your Algolia index from a visual screen. The Meta Field Mapper auto-detects fields from Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), Meta Box, CMB2, and native WordPress post meta, then lets you drop them into Searchable Attributes or Attributes for Faceting and reorder them to tune ranking. No PHP, no filters, no developer required.

Know your index is healthy. (New in Pro 1.7) An index health panel and dashboard widget surface configuration and indexing problems. See the live index status of any post right on the edit screen, and re-index a single post with one button instead of re-running everything.

Catalog-grade WooCommerce search. Index SKUs, standard and variable pricing, short descriptions, image sizes, and product dimensions or weight. Rank by total sales and product ratings. Control whether sold-out, hidden, and “shop only” products are indexed. Send add-to-cart, remove-from-cart, begin-checkout, and completed-order events to Algolia.

One search box for an entire network. Aggregate every subsite in a multisite network into a single Algolia index, exclude specific sites, and track per-site indexing status from the network sites list.

Respect the editorial rules you already set. Indexing honors “noindex” decisions from Yoast SEO, All in One SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress, and The SEO Framework, plus per-post controls in the editor.

Unlock Algolia’s advanced AI. Pro turns on Algolia Insights tracking, so your site collects the interaction data that semantic search, AI re-ranking, dynamic personalization, and shopping guides need to work.

Free vs Pro

Both versions index posts, pages, custom post types, terms, and users, and both power Autocomplete and InstantSearch. Everything below is only in Pro:

  • Custom fields without code — free requires writing PHP filters; Pro gives you a drag-and-drop screen.
  • Index health panel and dashboard widget — not available in free.
  • Per-post index status and one-click re-index — not available in free.
  • WooCommerce product data (SKU, pricing, dimensions, ratings) — not available in free.
  • WooCommerce event tracking for Algolia AI — not available in free.
  • Multisite network-wide indexing — not available in free.
  • SEO plugin “noindex” mirroring — five SEO plugins supported; not available in free.
  • Direct technical support — free is supported through the community forums.

WP Search with Algolia Pro is $99, and includes six months of updates and technical support plus a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Pro requires WordPress 6.5 or higher, PHP 8.0 or higher, and WP Search with Algolia 2.10.2 or higher. These are higher than this free plugin’s own minimums, so check your server before purchasing.
