Yes! WP Engine Smart Search AI is designed to work seamlessly with WP Engine Headless Platform sites on any of our Premium Headless plans.

Setup on WP Engine Headless Platform is simple with built-in headless search support, including WP GraphQL and ACF.

WP Engine Smart Search AI is a powerful, easy-to-setup, ACF-compatible, and headless-ready search tool unlike anything else on the market.

Whether you need an "it just works" search solution to improve your site experience quickly or a highly-customizable offering go beyond just search results, WP Engine Smart Search AI is the perfect solution for your WordPress search needs—headless WordPress included!

Many other search solutions on the market aren’t headless-compatible, or if they are, require complex setups and custom code to get your search up-and-running. WP Engine Smart Search AI works with headless sites out-of-the-box!

It also works seamlessly with your favorite tools like ACF (Advanced Custom Fields), WPGraphQL, and more!

Full-text search looks for exact matches in your content.

Semantic search uses natural language processing to understand the intent behind a query, even with typos or vague phrasing.

Hybrid search combines both approaches to deliver highly accurate and relevant results.

Absolutely! Whether you are using WP Engine Smart Search AI on a Premium or Atlas plan, you get the best-in-class, award-winning support experience you’ve come to know and love from WP Engine. And while we may not be able to help you with custom development work, we also have a community of headless developers and our Developer Relations team here to collaborate with you!

Yes. Both Smart Search AI and AI-Powered Recommendations offer developer-friendly APIs, headless compatibility, and Gutenberg blocks. You can fully customize the UI or integrate functionality into your own front-end with support for WPGraphQL, REST API, and third-party data.

AI-Powered Recommendations are driven by your site’s actual content and enhanced by user behavior. Using machine learning, the system continuously analyzes engagement signals to automatically suggest trending and related items that are more likely to convert.

No. All indexing and processing happens outside of WordPress on a specialized server infrastructure. This prevents site bloat and ensures fast, reliable performance without added dependencies or slowing down your site.
