Getting Started

Introduction

Welcome to Smart WooCommerce Search! This guide will help you install, configure, and customize the Smart WooCommerce Search plugin for your WooCommerce store.

Installation

1. Download the Plugin: Obtain the plugin from the official website or WordPress repository.
2. Upload to WordPress: In your WordPress admin dashboard, navigate to Plugins > Add New and upload the plugin file.
3. Activate the Plugin: Once uploaded, click Activate.

The Smart Search tab should appear on your WordPress menu on the left. There’s two ways how you can use the plugin.

Enable Smart Search Feature for a Default Search Bar

First is to extend the default WordPress Search widget or WooCommerce Search bar or Avada’s search bar with the Smart Search features. This will also applies for the “Search” and “Product Search” blocks in the Gutenberg page builder.

Enable Smart Search for the default search bar by checking the appropriate toggle.

Create Custom Search Widget

Another method is to create a custom Smart Search widget.

You can easily add this Smart Search widget to a sidebar.

1. Go to Appearance > Widgets.
2. Add the Smart Search widget to your desired widget area.

Or alternatively there is the way to add Smart Search bar using Elementor.

Shortcodes

There is a possibility to embed Smart Search in pages or posts using a shortcode

[smart_search id="{widget_id}"]

For PHP templates, add the following code:

<?php
echo do_shortcode('[smart_search id="{widget_id}"]');
?>
