Search in Place Pro updates results with AJAX as visitors type, so they can refine a query without waiting for a page reload. It turns existing website search boxes into Search in Place boxes and can suggest terms based on the text entered.

Choose what search can find

Configure searches to include custom post types and their taxonomies. Pro can also search metadata and the author display name associated with posts, pages, or custom post types. Choose whether results must match all entered terms (AND) or can match any term (OR).

Integrations for WooCommerce, WP e-Commerce, Jigoshop, and Ready! Ecommerce Shopping Cart can add the post types and taxonomies those plugins use.

Set result details and presentation

Results can be grouped by post type and labeled to identify posts, pages, or other content types. Search terms can be highlighted in the results and on resulting pages. Set a result limit and a minimum character count before a search starts. The title is always shown; featured images, authors, publication dates, and summaries are optional. You can also choose the date format and limit summary length.

Results appear in a popup by default. Pro can also display them in a div within page content. Search box colors and the website's search navigation option can be customized.

Place a search field

Use the [search-in-place-form] shortcode to add a search box. To search only the page containing the form, add in_current_page="1". Gutenberg and Elementor integrations are available, along with a widget for Page Builder by SiteOrigin.

Configure search behavior

In the extension options, choose the post types and taxonomies to include, set the result count and matching behavior, then adjust labels, colors, highlighting, and result presentation. Visitors can then use the existing search boxes or the additional fields you place on the website.
