Directorist – Search Alert

Directorist – Search Alert is an extension for the Directorist directory plugin that allows users to save search queries and receive notifications when new listings match their search criteria. The extension helps directory websites keep users informed about relevant listings without requiring them to repeat the same search manually.

The plugin enables visitors to store detailed search filters such as keywords, categories, location, price, or tags. Once saved, the system automatically monitors newly published listings and compares them with the stored search criteria. When a matching listing appears, the user receives a notification.

Directorist Search Alert also allows users to customize how often they receive notifications. For example, users can choose to receive alerts immediately when a listing appears or receive scheduled updates such as daily, weekly, or monthly notifications. This flexibility allows visitors to stay updated based on their preferences.

The extension adds a Saved Searches section to the user dashboard. From this area, users can view, edit, or delete their saved search alerts. Administrators can also monitor and manage saved searches from the WordPress dashboard.

Additionally, the extension improves user engagement on directory websites. Instead of repeatedly checking for new listings, users receive automated alerts whenever relevant content appears. This feature is commonly used in directories such as job boards, real estate listings, marketplaces, and classified websites.
