What it does
A standard WordPress search bar makes shoppers type a query, submit it and wait for a new page, and it often matches only basic keywords. On a store with many products, that can make items hard to find. This plugin replaces that flow with a live search box that returns results in real time as the visitor types, so they can see matching products right away and refine their query on the spot.
AJAX SEARCH for Woocommerce requires WooCommerce and works on both store and regular WordPress pages. Search results can include product images and descriptions, which gives shoppers more context before they click. You can adjust the look of the search box to match your site's branding without writing code, and the layout is responsive and retina ready, so it works on phones, tablets and desktop screens.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores with large or varied product catalogs
- Shops whose customers search by SKU or product code
- Store owners who want live search without writing code
Features
Live results without reloads
Search results appear in real time through AJAX as the visitor types, so there is no page refresh between entering a query and seeing matching products.
Filter by tags and categories
Shoppers can find products through product tags and categories, which helps when they know the type of item they want but not its exact name.
SKU search
The search box matches product SKUs, useful for repeat buyers, trade customers or anyone who already knows the exact product code they are looking for.
Images and descriptions in results
Search results can show product images and descriptions, giving shoppers enough detail to pick the right item straight from the dropdown.
Customizable search box
You can change the appearance of the search box so it fits your site's colors and branding and looks consistent with the rest of your pages.
Responsive and retina ready
The search box adapts to different screen sizes and displays sharply on high-resolution screens, so it works for visitors on mobile and desktop.
No coding required
Setup and configuration happen through settings rather than code, so store owners without development experience can get the live search working.
