Search Manager gives Craft sites one place to build, deliver, and improve frontend search. Define indices from Craft content, keep them synchronized as content changes, and serve results through Twig, REST, GraphQL, or the included modal search widget.

Choose the backend that fits each project or environment. MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, and File work as local options; Algolia, Meilisearch, and Typesense are available when a hosted or self-hosted search service is a better fit. Your templates and public search integration stay consistent when the backend changes.

Built-in search features include:

BM25 relevance ranking on local backends, fuzzy matching, phrase and boolean operators, field scopes, wildcards, and term boosting
Search-as-you-type autocomplete, highlighted matches, contextual snippets, multi-site indices, and stop words and localized boolean operators for 12 languages
Automatic index synchronization, queued rebuilds, backend diagnostics, and maintenance tools
Scoped API keys with index, referrer, expiry, hit-cap, and rate-limit controls
A keyboard-accessible modal widget with hierarchical results, snippets, recently viewed history, destination highlighting, light/dark themes, and Twig styling overrides

Standard is the complete search engine and developer toolkit. It includes every backend, indexing and synchronization, Twig/REST/GraphQL search, autocomplete, API keys, privacy controls, manual rebuild and clear tools, and the functional frontend widget.

Pro includes everything in Standard, then adds analytics, search optimization, editorial controls, and operational tools: the analytics workspace and dashboard widgets, query rules and synonyms, pinned promotions, the Pending Syncs queue browser and row-level operations, analytics-driven cache warming, built-in widget analytics and promotion controls, and reusable Widget Style presets.
