Mav AI Powered Search Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Mav AI Powered Search upgrades your site’s search results page with an AI-generated answer to what the visitor searched for. The answer explains the topic, how it relates to your business and what you offer in that area, citing the pages it draws on, followed by the source pages and related search terms.
The plugin uses the AI Client built into WordPress 7.0+. You pick an AI provider and enter its credentials once, at the site level, under Settings Connectors. Mav AI Powered Search then works with whichever provider you have connected. The plugin itself stores no API keys and does not talk to any AI service directly.
How it works
- A visitor searches your site.
- The AI works out what the visitor is after (for example a definition, a service or pricing) and the other words your site might use for the same topic.
- The plugin searches your published posts, pages and (if WooCommerce is active) products for the query and those related terms, splits the matching pages into passages under their headings, and picks the passages that best cover the topic.
- Those passages, the visitor’s search and your Business Profile are passed to the WordPress AI Client, which sends them to the AI provider you have connected. The AI writes a structured answer: a direct headline, sections in a logical order, key takeaways and the pages it used.
- The page loads straight away and the answer appears above your normal search results when it is ready.
- Answers are cached, and cleared when you publish or update searchable content. The plugin falls back to a plain list of matching posts if no AI provider is connected or a request fails.
Features
- Works with any AI provider connected through WordPress’s Settings Connectors screen. No separate API key is needed for this plugin.
- Structured answers that explain the topic and how it relates to your business, with numbered citations to your own pages.
- A Business Profile setting that tells the AI who you are, drafted automatically from your site for you to review.
- Search intent analysis and passage-level retrieval, so answers draw on whichever part of the site covers a topic, even when it uses different words than the visitor.
- Reads content from the block editor, shortcodes and Elementor; other page builders can supply content through the
mav_aips_post_contentfilter. - WooCommerce awareness — includes matching products in the AI’s context.
- Configurable caching to control AI usage and cost.
- Usage tracking and cache management in the admin settings screen.
- Graceful fallback to a plain matching-posts list when AI is unavailable.
External services
This plugin does not connect to any external service by itself. AI requests go through the WordPress AI Client, which sends them to the AI provider the site owner has connected under Settings Connectors. That provider’s own terms of use and privacy policy apply, and it bills usage to the account whose credentials were entered there.
What is sent: the visitor’s search query text, the Business Profile you enter in the settings, and passages from your own site’s already-published post/page/product titles and content (used so the AI can write a relevant answer). No visitor personal data (name, email, IP address, account info) is collected or sent by this plugin.
When it is sent: when a visitor searches your site and a cached result for that search term doesn’t already exist (two requests: one to interpret the search, one to write the answer), and when an administrator clicks “Draft from site content” in the settings.
