The management of the Austrian BI and digitalisation specialist comesio have today announced their acquisition of the WordPress plug-in Relevanssi, an international WordPress search function plug-in. The aim of this move is to support Mikko Saari, the creator of Relevanssi, with a team of comesio developers, so that the product can be evolved even more rapidly.

Christoph Vielgrader and Thomas Kolomaznik, executive directors of the eurodata subsidiary comesio, say: “We’re proud to be the new owners of Relevanssi. As a specialist CMS systems provider, we contribute additional resources, development capacities and professional support structures, while Mikko – as the key developer and visionary behind the plug-in – remains on board.”

Relevanssi is one of the world’s leading solutions for the WordPress search and will continue to be available in the future as a WordPress plug-in in its own right.

“Relevanssi has been conceived as a supplement to our portfolio and can be used for the smart search in WordPress. We will also abide by the free basis function in the future and go on developing it at the same time as the premium version”, says Christoph Vielgrader, explaining his concept.

“I’m really happy to be able to raise Relevanssi to the next level together with comesio”, says Mikko Saari, founder of Relevanssi. “This solution has been a project close to our hearts, and I’m grateful to have this chance to press on with it now with even more development power.” As things stand, Saari can already pride himself on over 100,000 active installations worldwide.

Christoph Vielgrader has this to say about it: “Together, comesio and Mikko contribute an extraordinary amount of experience and profound WordPress know-how to the further development of Relevanssi. Together, we’ll be able to implement innovations faster, increasing the service level at the same time, and thus create genuine added value for our customers.”
