Configure live search for your store

FiboSearch Pro adds an as-you-type search bar to WooCommerce. Shoppers see suggestions while entering a query, and the inverted-index search engine is designed for fast searches, including in catalogs with more than 100,000 products. Fuzzy matching can return relevant results when a query has minor typos.

In the WooCommerce settings, choose the search scope, result limit, minimum query length and appearance. You can place the bar in your theme with a shortcode, menu item or widget. Professional help with embedding or replacing a theme search bar is available for Pro users.

Choose what shoppers can find

Product search can cover titles, long and short descriptions, SKUs, attributes, categories, tags and supported brands. Brand integrations include WooCommerce Brands, Perfect Brands for WooCommerce, Brands for WooCommerce and YITH WooCommerce Brands. Category and brand thumbnails are supported.

FiboSearch Pro can search custom fields, with dedicated support for ACF. Shoppers can search by variation SKU; a variable product can appear in live results when the entered SKU matches exactly. Search can also include matching posts and pages alongside products.

• Use synonyms to connect related search terms.
• Conditionally exclude selected products from results.
• Show product pictures, prices, descriptions and SKUs in suggestions.

Review live suggestions

Results can be grouped by type, such as categories followed by products. A details panel can show extended product information when a shopper hovers over a suggestion. The panel can also include an add-to-cart button and quantity field.

Personalize labels, colors, the preloader, images and other autocomplete components. On mobile, a special search mode is intended to improve the search experience. Google Analytics support and compatibility with WPML, Polylang, qTranslate-XT and TranslatePress help fit the search into multilingual store setups.

Install and place the search bar

Install FiboSearch Pro in WordPress, then add the search bar to your theme with a shortcode, menu item or widget. Set the search scope, result limits, minimum character requirement and appearance in the available settings. When a shopper presses Enter, the WooCommerce search results page can return the same results shown in the FiboSearch bar.
