Ajax Live Search with Filters for WordPress
Replace the default WordPress search with instant Ajax results, smart live filters, and built-in analytics. Supports custom post types, WooCommerce products, and optional AI-powered semantic search.
Core Features
Instant Ajax Results
Results appear as the user types — no page reloads, no full-text search latency. Debounced requests keep server load low while delivering sub-100ms perceived response times.
Smart Filters
Filter results by post type, category, tag, price range, date, or any custom taxonomy. Filters update in real time alongside results, giving shoppers and readers immediate feedback.
Custom Post Type Support
Extend search to any registered post type — events, portfolio items, team members, recipes. Configure which types appear, in what order, and which fields are indexed.
WooCommerce Product Search
Searches product title, description, SKU, and attributes. Results include product image, price, and stock status. Clicking goes straight to the product page.
Search Analytics
Track what visitors search for, which queries return no results, and which result positions get clicked. Use the data to improve content and fill product gaps.
AI Semantic Search
Optional Pro feature: plug in an OpenAI API key to enable embedding-based semantic search. Finds conceptually related content even when exact keywords are absent.
