I tried this plugin for a 14 day trial periode, and instantly fell in love with how well it worked. I needed alot of help to get the look and feel to fit my webpage, and the support helped me with css, translations etc very fast even during the trial periode.Highly recommend this plugin 🙂

With a lot of content all search plugins we've tried becomes slower as more content we have. With this plugin the search is fast, reliable and user friendly. Very easy to setup without any hassle and a free trial. The Customer Support is excellent and very helpful. I highly recommend it!

I love that they give you the opportunity to try it first. I did and I loved it. I had some things I didn't want to come up in the search and contacted customer service about it - they were very helpful and responded quickly. I highly recommend this plug-in!

Update: This company continues to be amazing. We requested some updates to how our search responses were displayed on our site, and they worked with us to make sure it looked just like we desired. We found this plugin to be easy to use, and extremely beneficial. Our customers enjoy the ease with which they can locate products and even other content like our blogs on the site. Although we haven't heard from our disabled customers. we know this will make their shopping easier as well. Thank you Expertrec and Sudharshan for an outstanding product and support! I have nothing but good things to say about this company. I just moved to a new server and hosting company, I had a problem with my search. I went on live chat and immediately was greeted with a person that helped me get my search working again. But then I had a more complex issue on my end that a new person (Product Manager) came on line and helped me get through it. I love this plugin and their support is fantastic! A great combination you should try. Thanks guys.

Voice search is really a must have feature for modern websites for better UX. I hope the developer works on this project continuously to improve it. As I can see WP Hive Insights shows JavaScript issues, compatibility issue with PHP & WordPress.
