• Having been with WordPress for many years and currently utilising many of the platform’s plugins, rarely do I have anything to say about ‘good service’ as opposed to ‘poor response’ and ‘awful support’.

    However, on this occasion, I have an exception …

    I want to give a shout-out to Ernest, the developer of a cracking plugin called Ajax Search Lite.

    To employ a British saying “It does exactly what it says on the tin …”

    Well coded, easy to implement and if you get stuck, fire off a question to him and bam – he hits your inbox with a solution and not, like so many authors, with the ‘we can’t answer as you’re not a pro user’.

    As an example, I was stuck on a CSS issue in Elementor trying to get the search box to correctly align, so as you do, I fired off a question to Ernest – within the hour he responded with, not one, but several potential solutions.

    Sadly, these didn’t work for me so he then asked that I send him the site URL, which I did bearing in mind I was not a ‘Ajax Pro User’ …

    A day later, he wrote back with a solution (which I could have kicked myself seeing the solution) and yes, it fixed the issue.

    This is how you get plugin sales – good support, a willingness to help and not keeping developers waiting for hours, days, even months for a reply?!

    Now if I had a wishlist it would be that authors added a routine that enables a plugin to be completely removed from MySQL to avoid bloating upon uninstall and, a time-limited peek at the at a pro-version as I have been stung way too many times with rubbish pro-plugins and losing my money!

    And there you have it ….

    So it is with pleasure that I give credit where it’s due to Ernest, this is a great plugin that even as a free version gives you a superb, superfast search function/option for your website big or small – it delivers!

    And if you get stuck – fire off a question to this Author and it’s as if he’s monitoring his inbox 24/7, see’s your question and BAM – he responds!

    Does this man ever sleep???

    And let’s not forget, as ‘users’, if we don’t buy pro-version plugins such as this to keep it updated, we the developers end up losing and then having to search elsewhere for a comparable plugin to replace it, right?

    So given all this, it’s little wonder therfore why Ajax Search Lite has 80,000+ installs!

    I’m done, what more could anyone ask for – an all-around, super-fast website search plugin which is arguably faster than a Google Search!

    So it is with pleasure that I write this plugin review for Ajax Search Lite – good Job Ernest and thank you!

    Wow, this is very likely be the best review I have got in my life. I usually don’t respond to reviews, but this time I have to make an exception. Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it!
