Overview
Default WordPress search often falls short on a store with many products. Shoppers type a name or a SKU and wait for a results page to load. This plugin moves that step into the search box itself. Results appear as people type, and autocomplete suggestions point them toward matching products without a page reload.
The plugin is built around WooCommerce catalogs. Search results show SKUs, prices and short descriptions, for both simple and variable products, so shoppers can compare items before they click. Search runs on Algolia's cloud infrastructure, which is meant for large catalogs. The search interface can also be styled to match your site's branding and design.
Features
- Instant search as you type: Results update while the shopper types, so products appear in the search interface before any results page loads.
- Autocomplete suggestions: Autocomplete offers matching product names, SKUs and other details to help shoppers reach the right item with fewer keystrokes.
- WooCommerce product details: Search results display SKUs, prices and short descriptions in real time, so shoppers see key product information without leaving the search.
- Simple and variable products: Both simple products and variable products are supported, including their variations and relevant data in the search results.
- Algolia cloud search: Searching is handled by Algolia's cloud service, which is built to work with large product catalogs.
- Built on the free plugin: This Pro version extends the free WP Search with Algolia plugin and fits into an existing WordPress and WooCommerce setup.
- Improved search relevance: Matching is tuned so shoppers find the most relevant products quickly when they search by name, SKU or description.
- Customizable search interface: The search UI can be styled to match your website's branding and design preferences.
