Description

WordPress has a decent built-in search, but it might be a good idea to look into how we can improve that. There are plugins that improve the default WordPress search (the ones that come to mind are SearchWP and Relevanssi), so it might be good to investigate an option like that, or look into building an enhanced search ourselves as the search functionality is very important to achieving HelpHub's goals.
