## Notes

Relevanssi is a WordPress plugin that replaces the default WordPress search with a search engine that sorts results by relevance. It runs inside WordPress and is installed from the WordPress plugin screen. The plugin states its minimum PHP version and is listed in the WordPress.org plugin directory; its source is also mirrored on GitHub.

## Worth knowing

A Premium edition is sold alongside the free plugin, under an annual subscription or a permanent license. The plugin is now maintained by eurodata comesio solutions GmbH in Vienna, and Mikko Saari, who created it, remains its lead developer.
