WordPress ships with a built-in search that runs a LIKE query against the posts table. It works for a handful of posts, but on a real content site it has no relevance ranking, no facets, no typo tolerance, no autocomplete, and it slows down as your database grows. Most teams reach for a SaaS layer (Algolia, ElasticPress + hosted Elasticsearch) and start paying per record and per query.

This guide shows the open-source alternative: indexing WordPress into Viglet Turing, an Apache-2.0 enterprise search platform you self-host, with faceted search, semantic navigation, and generative AI (RAG), and your content staying on your own infrastructure.
