Free WordPress Plugin · v1.0.0
CSV to Search
Upload a CSV file and let visitors search, filter and browse the data on any page with one shortcode. No database tables, no page builder, and your file stays private.
How It Works
- Upload a CSV file (or start from the template in the plugin). The first row is the column headers
- Choose table or list display, colors, pagination and filter tabs
- Add
[csv_to_search]to any page or post - Visitors search every column at once — company, address, city, state, ZIP, phone, and more
Use Cases
- Directories — dealers, members, vendors, clinics, chapters
- Price and parts lists — a searchable catalogue without a store
- Schedules and rosters — export from a spreadsheet, publish in minutes
- Compliance and reference data — let people look up a record without downloading the whole file
Features
- Full-text search across all columns, case-insensitive with partial matches
- Table or list display, both responsive and mobile friendly
- Filter tabs driven by a “Type” column in your CSV
- Configurable pagination and full color customization
- CSV template download
- No custom database tables; the file is read only when a visitor searches
- Private file storage with an on-screen warning if your server exposes the folder (includes the NGINX rule to fix it)
- Clean uninstall and translation ready
Free Limits and Pro
The free plugin works fully on its own and never contacts a licensing server. It searches one CSV file, the first 250 rows, with up to 2 filter tabs.
Need more? CSV to Search Pro is a separate paid add-on ($24 per year) with unlimited rows, up to 8 tabs, multiple CSV files, CSV import from a URL, and results export.
