The WooCommerce Product Search extension provides the most advanced Search Engine and best Search Experience for you and your customers. It is an essential tool for every WooCommerce store. Among its features, you will find a powerful Search Engine that powers front and back end searches, live search and filters, automated indexing, search reports based on real-time data that provide priceless business insights and invaluable statistics. This essential extension also helps to control and improve the relevance of search results and so much more. The search box provided in the WooCommerce Product Table only ever appears above the product table, and never on its own. When you type into it, the products in the table instantly update underneath in real-time. If you want to show a search box on a page without a product table (e.g. your homepage), then you will need to use the default WooCommerce product search instead. This creates a standalone search box that you can add anywhere on your site. WooCommerce comes with a ‘Product Search’ widget, which you can find in Appearance > Widgets. If your homepage contains a widgetized area then you can add the widget there. However, this is still not optimal as the performance can be sub-par. To get a better search, but we advise using a woocommerce search plugin.
