Easy Glossary is a Joomla component plus content plugin, system plugin, site module, editor button, and Smart Search plugin for Joomla 4, 5, and 6. You keep multiple dictionaries, scope the same spelling to different glossaries, and skip headings, links, and code so highlights stay safe.

Why site owners choose it

• Safe highlighter: skips headings, links, buttons, and code blocks
• Multiple glossaries: the same spelling can mean different things in different dictionaries
• Accessible tooltips: keyboard focus, aria-describedby, Helix-safe tip display, native JavaScript
• A-Z pages: letter nav, search, list, grid, columns, or accordion; pages or Load more
• Admin clarity: usage map, tags, custom fields, related term picker
• Visitor suggest: frontend submit with optional notify email
• SEO-ready term pages: DefinedTerm JSON-LD, share icons, next and previous terms
• CSV import and export: move terms in bulk
• Editor button: insert {glossary term="YourTerm"} when auto highlight is off
• Easy Meta coexistence: skip basic Open Graph when Easy Meta is on

Perfect when you want

• In-article definitions without wrapping every term by hand
• A public glossary visitors can browse by letter
• Several dictionaries (product, legal, medical) on one site
• Joomla 4, 5, and 6 with no jQuery and no CDN
• A module for A-Z, latest, featured, random, or search
