Smart WooCommerce Search PRO adds real-time Ajax suggestions to standard WooCommerce search, either replacing or extending it. Matching products can appear with images, prices and categories while shoppers type, in a fullscreen popup or custom search widget.

Configure catalog search

Choose which product information search covers: SKUs, EANs, categories, tags, attributes, brands, custom fields, custom taxonomies or custom post types. Settings also let you choose product categories, exclude out-of-stock products and enable multiple-word search. Stop words and a relevance configurator give you control over how the extension interprets queries and orders results.

Keyword and synonym suggestions can provide a “Did you mean” prompt. Internal analytics report top search queries, phrases with no results and the most-clicked products. Search results can use a grid layout, and product searches can display the standard WooCommerce product grid on the results page.

A dedicated search index and advanced caching support for Memcache and Redis are available for larger catalogs. These settings support search performance, though the result for a particular store depends on its setup. Other options include recent searches and labels such as Featured, Sale and Out of Stock.

Let shoppers select and add products

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

Connect search to a storefront

Use a default search widget or create a custom one in the add-on settings. The search supports Elementor, DIVI, WPBakery Page Builder, Visual Composer and Avada. For theme templates, the provided PHP approach uses the widget ID configured in the settings. Styling and customization settings help adapt the search to a storefront; minor CSS adjustments may be needed for an exact theme match.

Google Analytics integration is available through GA4. Listed multilingual compatibility includes WPML and Polylang. The plugin also lists compatibility with ACF, Custom Post Type UI, Ultimate WooCommerce Brands and Search Exclude.

Install and configure

Install and activate Smart WooCommerce Search PRO in the WordPress dashboard, then configure the search widget and indexing settings. Choose searchable product data, selected or excluded categories, result layout, triggers, styling, analytics and the PRO features you want to use. The PRO edition includes a 14-day free trial and automatic plugin updates. Refer to the product documentation for configuration details.
