Ajax Search Pro

Visitors who land on a large blog, a store catalog or a content-rich portal often need to search to find anything. A plain search form sends them to a new page and makes them wait. Ajax Search Pro answers this with live results that appear on the same page as they type, using asynchronous requests so the page does not reload.

The plugin searches posts, pages, custom post types and more, and lets visitors narrow results by categories, tags, custom fields and post types. Search bars and result layouts come in several styles, so the search blends with your theme. It also works with WooCommerce for product searches and with WPML and other translation plugins for multilingual sites.

Features

• Real-time search results: Results show up instantly as visitors type, with no page reload, which keeps searching quick and interactive on any page where a search bar is placed.
• Customizable search bars: Several search bar styles and placements are available, so you can match the search to your site's design and put it where visitors expect it.
• Filters and taxonomies: Visitors can refine a query by categories, tags, custom fields and post types, which helps them reach the right content on sites with a lot of it.
• Relevance tools: Keyword highlighting, typo correction and search term weighting help surface the most relevant matches for what a visitor typed.
• Grid, list and dropdown layouts: Pick a grid, list or dropdown layout for results, depending on how your site is structured and how much detail each result needs to show.
• WooCommerce integration: Shoppers can search a WooCommerce store and locate products quickly, which suits online shops with sizable catalogs.
• Mobile responsive and Retina ready: The search keeps sharp visuals and stays usable across phones, tablets and desktop screens, including high-density displays.
• Multilingual compatibility: The plugin works with WPML and other translation plugins, so sites that serve visitors in more than one language can use the same search.

Best for

• Blogs and content-heavy sites with many posts
