Premmerce WooCommerce Product Search

Premmerce Product Search Plugin makes the WooCommerce product search more flexible and efficient, providing the customer with additional search results even if the keyword was entered with a spelling error

With the help of this plugin, the products search results within your store will be highly relevant to your potential customers. With our plugin, you no longer have to create the databases of synonyms and duplicate the words with common errors in the product name or its description.

For example, if your potential customer searches for “Aple” or “Appl”, instead of “No products found”, the plugin will show the Apple products in the results, if you have them in your store.

This plugin is compatible with another Premmerce plugin, which is called

• Premmerce WooCommerce Product Filter.

Spell correction

Autocomplete at backend corrects 1 mistake in a word and starts the search. For example, let’s enter a search query with some mistakes: “appke whte”.

Search for the words with the same pronunciation and similar words

The search looks for the product names, that are matching to the search query. For example, the customer enters the word “ifone”. There are two mistakes in this word, so the regular search will not find anything. But with the help of our plugin, the search will provide the user with all the products, that contain the word “iPhone” in their names.

Search for the transliterated words

The plugins has an option of searching for the products, even if the search query consists of transliterated words. For example, the user enters “епл сильвер” in the Cyrillic keyboard layout. The regular search for such a request will not find anything, unless our plugin is installed.
