Description
FiboSearch replaces WooCommerce’s default search with an AJAX search bar that shows live suggestions as the customer types, searching by product title, description, and SKU. Each suggestion can display an image, price, and description, and it can be added via shortcode, menu item, or widget, in a scenario where instant search already appears on 96% of major e-commerce sites, according to UX research from the Baymard Institute.
Key Features of FiboSearch
- Live AJAX suggestions
Results appear as you type, with no reload of the store page. - Search by SKU and descriptions
Queries the product’s title, short description, long description, and SKU code. - Suggestions with image and price
Each result can show a thumbnail, price, SKU, and description snippet. - Detail panel with add-to-cart
On hover, shows extra details and a buy button with a quantity field. - Dedicated mobile mode
A specific interface for small screens, with search history and a configurable suggestion limit.
Benefits of FiboSearch
- Shorter path to the product
Customers who already know what they want reach the item after typing just a few characters. - Less browsing abandonment
Keeps visitors from giving up when they can’t find the product in the menu. - Quick fit into the theme
Shortcode, widget, or menu item place the search bar wherever the layout already has room. - More accurate ranking
The algorithm prioritizes relevant results in catalogs with many items.
Who Is FiboSearch For?
- Anyone running large WooCommerce catalogs with hundreds or thousands of SKUs.
- Anyone who needs customers to find products by SKU code, such as parts, tools, and auto parts.
- You, if you notice visitors leaving the store without finding the item they were looking for.
- Anyone handling heavy mobile traffic who wants a comfortable search experience on small screens.
How to Download FiboSearch
FiboSearch is available for download here on Ultrapack. Step-by-step instructions for installing this file are in the How to install tab, next to the description. Once activated, the search bar’s configuration options appear in the WordPress dashboard, alongside the other WooCommerce screens.
Replacing WooCommerce’s native search with live suggestions changes the behavior of visitors who arrive with purchase intent: instead of browsing through categories, the visitor types two or three letters and already sees the product with a photo and price. For stores with a large catalog or technical item naming, this shortcut reduces clicks and keeps the customer inside the buying flow.
