How it works
From a typed query to the right product — without an external search engine.
Product Search builds its own index in MySQL/MariaDB and selects the search strategy for each query. This improves relevance, handles typos, and keeps your data under your control in WordPress.
Search engine
Find products despite typos, word forms, and different ways of writing a query
The engine combines FULLTEXT search, fuzzy search, and trigrams with lightweight stemming for Polish. Exact product identifiers are handled separately, so names, descriptions, and product codes can be searched using rules appropriate to each type of data.
- FULLTEXT with automatic strategy selection and fuzzy search for typos
- lightweight stemming for Polish and configurable field priorities
- exact matching for SKU, EAN, and custom identifiers
- synonyms without rebuilding the index and cache with automatic invalidation
Search suggestions
Suggest products, categories, and brands before the results page opens
The search field can show suggestions in separate groups and highlight the matching part of a name. Users can navigate suggestions with the keyboard, while outdated requests are cancelled during fast typing.
- products, categories, and brands in separate groups with the matching text highlighted
- optional price, SKU, and availability with configurable suggestion limits
- Arrow key, Enter, and Escape support with cancellation of outdated requests
- desktop- and mobile-friendly layout, with Enter opening the full results page
Results u0026amp; sales
Go beyond search. Control what customers see and measure what happens next.
Facets, result rules, and analytics let you adapt search to your catalog, promote important products, and see which queries lead to clicks, carts, or purchases.
Filters u0026amp; listing
Build filtered results that match your catalog and storefront
The listing can use a grid or list layout and an automatic or custom product template. Filters can include taxonomies, prices, stock levels, and custom fields, while facet counts show how many results remain after selecting a value.
- categories, brands, tags, attributes, other WooCommerce taxonomies, and custom fields
- price and available quantity ranges, result counts, and handling of zero-result values
- active filters, quick reset, filters beside or above results, and optional accordions
- grid or list view, custom product template, responsive spacing, and desktop/mobile preview
Merchandising u0026amp; analytics
Promote the right products and measure whether search drives sales
For a specific query and language, you can pin, boost, or hide selected products. Rules are applied before pagination, while analytics connects search activity with product clicks, add-to-cart events, purchases, and revenue.
- pin, boost, and hide products with control over the order of pinned results
- popular queries, zero-result searches, product clicks, and add-to-cart events
- confirmed purchases and revenue with automatic attribution reversal after cancellation or full refund
- recommendations for related words and result rules, always requiring manual approval
