Cloud Indexing That Goes Easy on Your Host
Many WordPress search plugins rebuild indexes on your server. SearchUs runs the heavy indexing work in the cloud so site search scales without upgrading hosting.
How Cloud Indexing Works
Your WordPress site sends content you choose to crawl. SearchUs returns a pre-built index stored locally—visitor search stays fast.
Indexing Off Your WordPress Server
- Full index processing on SearchUs infrastructure
- Optional auto-crawl when content changes
- Sitemap-based discovery
- URL and DOM exclusions for cleaner indexes
- No Elasticsearch cluster to operate
After activation, indexing and visitor search use the SearchUs API. See Terms and Privacy.
Why Site Owners Care
Shared Hosting Friendly
Avoid CPU spikes and timeouts common with on-server full indexes.
Predictable Quotas
Plan limits cover indexed URLs and index allowance—not locked ranking UI.
Keep Content Fresh
Auto-crawl and scheduled index options keep the index aligned with publishes and edits.
Cloud Indexing FAQ
Do I need a full index?
Yes after activation. Until the index is built, SearchUs SERP results can be empty.
Is my content stored only in the cloud?
The SearchUs service processes indexing. A pre-built index is stored in WordPress. See Privacy for what is sent and when.
Ready for Better WordPress Search?
Install the free SearchUs search plugin from WordPress.org, activate your license, and run your first full index for faster site search.
