Simple Search 1.1.0 – WordPress & WooCommerce Search Plugin

Description

Simple Search 1.1.0 is a fast WordPress and WooCommerce search plugin that helps visitors find posts, pages, products, categories, and SKUs in seconds. It creates a local search index, displays live results while users type, and improves relevance without AI, API keys, or an external search service.

Better WordPress search with less setup

Replace basic site search with a clean, responsive search experience designed for content websites and online stores. Simple Search ranks relevant titles, content, excerpts, categories, tags, prices, stock status, and WooCommerce product data. The interface is fully translated into English and works on desktop and mobile devices.

Key features

• Live search results appear while the visitor types.
• Posts, pages, and WooCommerce products can be searched from one interface.
• Typo tolerance finds useful results even when a query contains a simple spelling mistake.
• Custom synonyms connect related phrases such as laptop, notebook, and portable computer.
• WooCommerce SKU search includes parent products and product variation SKUs.
• Useful filters cover content type, category, price range, and stock availability.
• Local relevance ranking is transparent and does not depend on a third-party algorithm.
• Anonymous search analytics highlight popular searches and zero-result queries.
• Gutenberg block and shortcode make placement simple on any page.

WooCommerce product search

Help customers reach the right product faster. Simple Search can match product names, descriptions, categories, tags, prices, stock status, standard SKUs, and variation SKUs. Product cards can display the current price and link visitors directly to the matching product page.

Privacy-friendly and self-hosted

All indexing and matching run inside WordPress. The plugin uses no AI, tracking scripts, API keys, or external search platform. It does not store visitor IP addresses or user identifiers, and queries that resemble phone numbers or email addresses are excluded from analytics.

Easy setup

1. Install and activate the plugin.
2. Open Search in the WordPress dashboard.
3. Select the content types that should be searchable.
4. Add the Simple Search Gutenberg block or the [simple_search] shortcode to a page.
