Description
The Product Search addon adds instant AJAX search to WooCommerce, indexing product titles, descriptions, SKUs, categories, and tags to display results as the customer types in the field. Designed for stores with extensive catalogs containing hundreds or thousands of items, it includes category filters, configurable widgets, and reports on the most searched terms, helping you fine-tune the catalog based on the actual behavior of people searching the store.

Who Is Product Search For?
- Anyone who manages an extensive WooCommerce catalog with hundreds or thousands of SKUs across multiple categories.
- Designed for those who lose sales when visitors give up because they cannot find the product using the default WordPress search.
- Anyone who wants to discover what customers are actually looking for to adjust inventory, descriptions, and SEO strategy.
How to Download Product Search
Product Search is available for download here at Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it by going to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the package, and activate it. After activation, the search widget and searched-term reports appear in the WooCommerce dashboard, ready to be configured.
In a WooCommerce store with many products, the default WordPress search returns shallow, unrefined results. This component replaces that behavior with a dedicated AJAX search layer featuring multi-field indexing, category filtering, and integrated analytics on what visitors type. The practical benefit is a shorter path between customer intent and order completion in the store.

- Confusing support - issue fundamental I struggled to get a coherent reply from Support on a simple issue.
- 1) I use Storefront WooCommerce's free theme
- 2) WooCommerce Product Search is from WooCommerce
- 3) The mobile view when selecting to search is rubbish the search filed appearing in the at the very top with acres of white space below.
- Should it not work as these are both essentially products under the WooCommerce brand?
- My impression was that in a hurry to reply no-one was picking up on this simple fact.

- Hi there, indeed the search in mobile view with Storefront is different with the extension enabled. We designed it to optimize the space available to show matching products for the search. Although we think that this makes sense from that point of view, we also understand that it might not be what you want to have for your site. Please allow our support team to work this out for you. As you already have a ticket open with us, we will get in touch to help you to find a satisfying solution.
