Smart Search (Premium version 2.0.0 on)Exclusive to the Premium version of WPC AJAX Search plugin, Smart Search can offer more than what a normal search plugin can do. Let’s dig in.
Main features:
Choose a heading for each set of rules
Configure number of characters/words
Include one or more keywords, exclude keywords
Returned results: message (text), products, category list, posts
Custom messages support short-code from other WPC plugins
Sources: all products, products, types, tags, categories, tags, brands, collections, product visibility, shipping classes, attributes, Combined (mix of different sources)
Restrict the number of returned items, order & filters
Different output types
Under WPClever >> AJAX Search >> open the Smart Search tab, users can configure a bunch of rules to display specific outputs as search results of selective input keywords.
The output can be:
Products
Custom messages (shortcode supported)
Smart Search does regard just products; it’s more powerful than the normal search functionality in that returned results can be products, custom messages about sales and events, the category list for navigation, or even posts on site.
Using custom messages as output results, users can even insert short-code to call for special features from other WPC plugins and make best use of WPClever’s ecosystem. It’s up to the users to decide which is shown for specific keywords.
Several Sources
There are several types of sources to define returned products. Users can choose a specific source or “Combined” to mix different sources together and describe more complicated products in detail.
All products
Products
Tags (different tags are possible)
Categories (different categories are possible)
Types (different types are possible, including woosb, woosg, composite, simple, variable, variation, subscription)
Brands (use WPC Brands for WooCommerce)
Collections (use WPC Smart Product Collections for WooCommerce)
Product visibility (exclude-from-search, exclude-from-catalog, rated-1, rated-2, rated-3, rated-4, rated-5)
Product shipping classes
Combined source is the most complex one, which allows users to define products in better detail. For example, it’s easy to filter products that are smart bundles (woosb), with the price of $59 or higher, under the category “2023’s Spring” having the ‘Blue’ in attributes and belonging to the Freeship shipping class – as detailed as you might need to find exclusive products and show as smart search’ results.
