Home / Products / Groundworx Query Filters

WordPress search was built for matches. Your visitors need answers.

Weighted relevance, intelligent autocomplete, and native block filtering, all in one product, built on WordPress standards.

WordPress search was never designed for relevance. Neither were most filtering plugins. Query Filters is built from the ground up to solve both — a weighted search index built directly into your WordPress site, where title matches score higher, exact phrases score higher still, and autocomplete only surfaces results that actually exist. Native blocks, no external services, no shortcode spaghetti.

Filters – Interactive Filtering for WordPress Query Loop

Built on WordPress FSE standards

Every other solution works around WordPress. This one works with it.

Built on @wordpress/interactivity-router and a custom weighted search index that lives entirely inside your WordPress install. No external services. Query Loop handles the query. The search index handles relevance. Filters and search work together, and everything. Query Loop, Query Total, Pagination, No Results keeps working exactly as WordPress intended.

Shortcode spaghetti
Real blocks with real controls. No parameters to memorize. No copy-pasting from docs. Just drag, drop, done.

Custom query systems
Not here, works with Query Loop, not instead of it. Your theme works. Pagination works. Other plugins work.

Full page reloads
We have Instant filtering with the Interactivity API. Scroll position stays. Fast. We even offer on change submit!

Impossible to style
We use your theme.json. Typography, colors, spacing — all in the editor. No CSS overrides. No !important wars.

Filters that never mislead. Your visitors deserve results, not dead ends.

Contextual term counts, instant results, no zero-result pages. Everything works with your theme, your pagination, and your plugins.

Works with Query Loop
No custom query system. Drop filters inside any Query Loop block. Uses WordPress’s own query – your theme, pagination, and other plugins keep working.

Interactivity API powered
Instant filtering without page reloads. The same technology WordPress core uses. Modern, fast, native.

Real blocks, real controls Typography, colors, spacing – all in the editor. Respects your theme.json. Styles the way WordPress intended.

Accurate counts
Term counts that actually match your query. Filtering products? You see product counts. Not the combined total from posts, pages, and everything else.

Instant results
Filters apply without page reloads. Scroll position stays. Fast, smooth, modern.

Clients can manage it

No more dead ends.

Enable contextual terms and the filter only shows options that exist in current results.

Filter by “Electronics” – tag list updates to show only tags on Electronics products. Not all 500 tags in the system. Users never click a filter and get zero results.

Counts that actually mean something.

Groundworx tracks counts per post type. Filter products, see product counts. No more misleading numbers.

WordPress stores one count per term – total across all post types. “News” has 50 posts and 10 products? WordPress shows “News (60)” even when filtering products.

20 Blocks. Complete Control.
Accessible by design.

Targeting WCAG 2.1 AA. No extra configuration needed.

Keyboard navigation throughout. Screen reader support. Proper ARIA patterns on every interactive element. Designed to support accessibility requirements for government, healthcare, education, and enterprise projects.

Built right, not retrofitted.

Global Search

Site-wide search with Quick Links on focus. Static shortcuts appear the moment the field is active, disappear once you start typing. As you type, autocomplete surfaces suggested searches (keyword phrases from your content) and suggested links (matching post titles), all relevance-ranked. Every suggestion leads somewhere real. No dead ends.

Global Search Dropdown

The same experience as Global Search, wrapped in a popup. The search input sits inline in your header or navigation. Focus it and Quick Links appear in the dropdown. Start typing and suggestions take over. Closes when you click away. Ideal for headers where space is limited but the full search experience still matters.
