What it does
Default WordPress search often struggles with a product catalog. Shoppers type a name or a SKU and get a plain list of posts with little detail. This add-on connects your store's search to Algolia's hosted search service, so results appear as the shopper types. It works alongside the free WP Search with Algolia plugin and requires WooCommerce, which makes it a fit for stores that already sell through WooCommerce and want product search that shows useful details up front.
Inside the results, each product can show its SKU, price and short description, for both simple and variable products. Autocomplete suggestions include product names and SKUs, so a shopper looking for a specific item can find it quickly. Because the search runs on Algolia's cloud infrastructure, it is built to handle large catalogs. You can also style the search interface so it matches the look of your theme and brand.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores with large or growing product catalogs
- Shops where customers search by SKU or part number
- Stores selling many variable products with multiple options
Features
Instantsearch as you type
Search results update while the shopper types, so they can scan matching products without submitting a query or loading a separate results page.
Autocomplete suggestions
The search box suggests matching product names and SKUs as the shopper types, helping them jump straight to the item they have in mind.
Product details in results
Each result can display the product's SKU, price and short description, giving shoppers the information they need before clicking through.
Simple and variable products
Search handles both simple and variable WooCommerce products, including variations and their related data, so complex catalogs are represented in the results.
Algolia cloud search
Queries run on Algolia's hosted search infrastructure, which is designed to scale and handle large product catalogs instead of relying on the default database search.
Customizable search interface
You can adjust the styling and layout of the search interface so it fits your site's branding and design.
Extends the free plugin
It adds its WooCommerce-focused features on top of the free WP Search with Algolia plugin, working within your existing WordPress and WooCommerce setup.
