Advanced search for WooCommerce stores
FiboSearch Pro is a paid edition of FiboSearch – Ajax Search for WooCommerce. It replaces a basic WooCommerce search experience with a live, as-you-type search bar that presents suggestions while visitors enter a query. The Pro edition is designed for stores that need broader search coverage, faster responses, and more useful product discovery.
Its search engine uses an inverted index and is described as working very fast, including on catalogs with more than 100,000 products. FiboSearch Pro also supports fuzzy search, so visitors can receive relevant results when their query contains minor typos.
Search products, content, and store data
Visitors can search product titles, long and short descriptions, SKUs, attributes, categories, tags, and supported brands. Brand search supports WooCommerce Brands, Perfect Brands for WooCommerce, Brands for WooCommerce, and YITH WooCommerce Brands, including brand thumbnails. Category thumbnails are supported as well.
The Pro edition can search custom fields with dedicated support for ACF. It can also search variation product SKUs and show variable products in live results when an exact matching SKU is entered. Beyond product content, the live search can include matching posts and pages, helping visitors discover related information alongside products.
- Search by product title, descriptions, SKU, attributes, categories, tags, and brands.
- Search custom fields with ACF support.
- Find products through variation SKUs.
- Include matching posts and pages in live search.
- Use synonyms to connect related search terms.
- Conditionally exclude selected products from results.
Useful live results and flexible placement
Live suggestions can display product images, prices, descriptions, and SKUs. Results may be grouped by type, such as categories followed by products, so shoppers can understand what they have found. A details panel can show extended product information and provide an add-to-cart button with a quantity field when hovering over a live suggestion.
The search bar can be added to a theme with a shortcode, menu item, or widget. FiboSearch Pro also includes professional help with embedding or replacing the search bar in a theme. Labels, colors, the preloader, images, and other autocomplete elements can be personalized.
Store-focused workflow
As a shopper types, the plugin evaluates the query and displays live suggestions. The search can cover products and wider store content, handle minor typing errors, and use synonyms for alternative terminology. When a visitor presses Enter, the WooCommerce search results page can return the same results as the FiboSearch bar.
Mobile users receive a special mobile search mode intended to provide a better mobile experience. Google Analytics support and multilingual compatibility, including WPML, Polylang, qTranslate-XT, and TranslatePress, help fit the search experience into broader store workflows.
Installation
Install FiboSearch Pro in WordPress, then place the search bar in the theme using a shortcode, menu item, or widget. Configure the search scope, result limits, minimum character requirement, appearance, and other available options. If the existing theme search needs to be replaced or embedded, the included professional help can assist with that task.
