Description

The WooCommerce Search Engine adds an AJAX search field to the WooCommerce store header, returning real-time suggestions with product thumbnail, name, price, and category as the customer types. It is aimed at those who maintain large catalogs in WooCommerce and need to shorten the path between the search and the right product, with category filters and partial matching on typed terms.
