Show matches as visitors type

Ajax Search Pro adds AJAX-powered search to WordPress, displaying results while visitors type. Create multiple search bars and configure each for a different part of the website. Search activity runs on your server, and the product does not require a monthly subscription.

Choose the content and data to search

Search custom post types such as WooCommerce products, events, and portfolio items. Ajax Search Pro can also search media attachments and the contents of PDF, Excel, Word, and PowerPoint files. Depending on the selected sources, searchable content can include titles, descriptions, excerpts, categories, tags, custom fields, comments, and other supported data. Custom field support includes repeaters and special field types.

For community websites, the extension works with BuddyPress activity feeds, customers, and group names, plus PeepSo groups and group activities. It also offers WooCommerce shop search and filtering, along with search and filtering for Elementor Loop Grid and JetEngine Listing Grid content.

Help visitors refine and scan results

Visitors can filter by category, custom field, post type, tag, taxonomy term, or date. Filter controls include checkboxes, drop-downs, multiselect fields, radio buttons, sliders, and range sliders. Results can be grouped by category, post type, or content type.

Predictive result suggestions, Google keyword suggestions, and autocomplete help visitors shape a query as they type. Keyword highlighting can make matches easier to spot. Depending on the configuration, visitors can load more results or use infinite scroll.

Set up the search display

Choose from more than 100 configurable themes and adjust colors, layouts, icons, and result presentation. Search results can include pictures; image precaching and search phrase caching are among the available caching and performance settings. The add-on also includes live search statistics.

Ajax Search Pro supports Elementor, Divi, Oxygen, Breakdance, Gutenberg, and Beaver. It is responsive on mobile devices and includes automatic search replacement, widgets, shortcodes, archive-page loading, and frontend search settings.

Add it to a WordPress site

Install the plugin, make one or more search bars, and select each bar's content sources and filters. Adjust its layout, colors, result grouping, and caching options, then add the search interface with a widget or shortcode. You can also configure it to replace the default search.
