Set the scope and order of product searches

Smart WooCommerce Search PRO can replace or extend standard WooCommerce search with real-time Ajax suggestions. Configure searches across SKUs, EANs, categories, tags, attributes, brands, custom fields, custom taxonomies and custom post types. You can choose product categories, exclude out-of-stock products and enable multiple-word search. Stop words and a relevance configurator give you control over how queries are interpreted and results are ordered.

Keyword and synonym suggestions can provide a “Did you mean” prompt. Internal analytics show top search queries, phrases with no results and the most-clicked products. Recent searches are also available.

Choose how results appear and what shoppers can do

Show matching products with images, prices and categories as shoppers type. The search can appear in a fullscreen popup or a custom widget. Results can use a grid layout, and product searches can show the standard WooCommerce product grid on the results page. Labels such as Featured, Sale and Out of Stock can also appear on products.

The Product Variations Popup lets shoppers select options such as size or color and add an entry to the cart from the search popup. You can also display an Add to Cart button in search results.

Connect search to your storefront

A dedicated search index and advanced caching support for Memcache and Redis are intended to support searches across larger product catalogs. The extension also integrates with Google Analytics through GA4 and is compatible with WPML and Polylang. Listed integrations include ACF, Custom Post Type UI, Ultimate WooCommerce Brands and Search Exclude.

Use default search widgets or make a custom widget in the extension options. Supported page builders include Elementor, DIVI, WPBakery Page Builder, Visual Composer and Avada. Theme templates can use the provided PHP approach with the widget ID set in the plugin settings. Styling options are available, and minor CSS adjustments may be needed to match a theme exactly.

Install and configure

Install and activate the plugin in the WordPress dashboard, then configure the search widget and indexing settings. Choose the product data to search, category rules, result layout, triggers, styling and analytics, along with the PRO functions you want to use. The PRO edition includes a 14-day free trial and lists automatic plugin updates among its functions. See the product documentation for configuration details.
