What it does
Default WordPress search often misses the details shoppers actually type, like a SKU, a color or a category name. This plugin indexes BigCommerce product information, including attributes, categories, SKUs and custom fields, and makes it searchable from your WordPress site. You can then adjust the search algorithm to give more weight to the attributes that matter most in your catalog, and control the order in which products appear in results.
The plugin fits stores that run BigCommerce products through a WordPress front end, from small shops to large or complex catalogs. It works with custom post types and taxonomies, and it can tie into product archive search. You can add search forms anywhere using Gutenberg blocks or modal popups, show live suggestions as people type, exclude products or pages that clutter results, and review search analytics to see what shoppers look for.
Best for
- BigCommerce stores using WordPress as the storefront

Questions about SearchWP BigCommerce
Can customers search for products by SKU or color?

Will it work with custom post types and taxonomies?
It supports custom post types and taxonomies, along with extensive product catalogs. That makes it a reasonable fit for store owners whose BigCommerce inventory is large or organized in a more complex way.
How do I add a search box to my pages?
You can add BigCommerce search forms anywhere on your WordPress site using Gutenberg blocks. There is also a modal popup option if you prefer a search box that opens over the page.

Yes. You can exclude specific products or pages so they do not appear in search. This helps keep results focused on the items shoppers are most likely looking for.
