Queryra Is a WordPress.org Featured Plugin

Queryra was selected for the WordPress.org Featured Plugins programme in August 2026, one of eight plugins hand-picked for the Featured tab. I went looking for an author who has published what being featured actually does to a plugin's numbers and could not find a single one, so I'm tracking mine daily and will publish them.

As of 22 August 2026, Queryra is one of eight plugins in the Featured tab on WordPress.org, listed there as AI Search for WooCommerce – Semantic Search.

That's the tab that opens by default when you click Plugins → Add New inside any WordPress site. If you'd rather check than take my word for it, open your own admin, go to Plugins → Add New, and look at the Featured tab, or open the Featured listing on WordPress.org directly. We're there, alongside seven others.

The thing nobody has written

The programme has been running since March. Dozens of plugins have been through it by now.

I went looking for a first-hand account from any of them, an author writing up what being featured did to their numbers, and I couldn't find a single one. The curator published figures for the very first cohort back in March and said more would follow. There hasn't been a second report. When somebody asked publicly for a list of previously featured plugins, the question sat there unanswered.

So there is no honest account of what this does, written by someone it happened to.

I'm in the current cohort from day one. I recorded my baseline before the rotation started and I'm logging the numbers every day: downloads, active installs, support threads, signups, and how many of those people ever run a search.

I'll publish all of it on this page when the two weeks are up. Including if the answer turns out to be "not much".

The other seven

Milo Subscriptions · neo Rename · AllTerrain Photo Editor · PressPrimer Certificate · Circumflex Booking · Icon Indexa · LocalForm

None of them does anything close to what Queryra does, and all of them are worth two minutes of your time. That is rather the point of the tab.

If you're reading this because you found us there

Queryra is AI search for WordPress and WooCommerce. It matches on meaning rather than keywords, so a visitor who types "gift for someone who likes cooking" finds the right things even when none of those words appear in a product title. It works the same way on articles, documentation and course content as it does on products.

There's a live demo at woo.queryra.com. No signup and no email address, just type something into it and see what comes back.
