Sharely.ai for WordPress · now on wordpress.org

Search your WordPress site by meaning, not by matching

Your site's own search, ranked by meaning, and an Ask panel that answers from your pages with links to them. Nobody sees what they could not already.

Somebody asks “can I bring my dog?”

WordPress search matches words. The page headed “Pets on site” never comes back, because it never says dog.

Sharely.ai for WordPress sends your pages to a Sharely workspace, which reads them, and then answers your site's search box by meaning rather than by matching. It adds an Ask panel too: a visitor types a question and gets an answer written from your own pages, with links to the ones it came from.

Up and running in three steps

  1. 1

    Activate the plugin

    Install it from the plugin directory and go to Settings, then Sharely.AI. Until you connect, it does nothing at all: no blocks, no change to your search page, no requests sent.

  2. 2

    Connect to Sharely

    Sign in, or create an account, which is free and takes about a minute. Approve the site and a workspace named after it is created for you. There is no key to paste.

  3. 3

    Search your site

    The first sync starts on its own. When it finishes, your theme's own search page is already being answered by Sharely. Nothing else needs configuring.

What you get

Your theme's own search page

Ranked by meaning, on block themes and classic themes alike. No template to edit.

Search and Ask blocks

They take their colours, type, spacing and borders from your theme, because they wear your theme's own search markup. A shortcode covers sites without blocks.

Kept in step as you write

Saving, trashing or deleting a page updates the workspace in the background, and a status screen says what was sent, what failed and why.

Know what people look for

What visitors searched for, kept on your site for 30 days, and switchable off.

WP-CLI commands

Sync, check status and reconcile from the command line.

Ready for AI agents

On WordPress 6.9 and later, search and ask are exposed as abilities, so an AI agent on your site can use them under the same access rules as your visitors.

It never shows anybody anything they could not already see

Access by role

Every entry is tagged with the roles allowed to read it, every search runs as the visitor's roles, and every result is checked against WordPress once more before it is shown.

Gets out of the way

No workspace, no network, a slow answer: WordPress search answers instead, exactly as it did before the plugin was installed.

Free, and nothing locked

The plugin is free and GPL. A free workspace runs everything it does. Larger plans are for sites that outgrow it.

Requirements

  • WordPress 6.6 or later, tested up to 7.1
  • PHP 8.1 or later
  • A Sharely.ai workspace, created free when you connect

Powered by the Sharely.ai Platform

Sharely.ai for WordPress is one way into the platform. The same workspace can index your other sources of truth, run role agents in your systems of record, and tell your content team what people are actually asking.
