Product search & filters for WooCommerce

Fast, typo-tolerant WooCommerce product search plugin with AJAX filters

Search that understands your customers — typos and partial words in any language, plus Greek and greeklish. AddSynapse Search & Filter replaces the default WooCommerce search with a hosted search engine built for Greek shops. Shoppers type “kreatini”, make a typo or use another word form — and still find the product. Instant results and AJAX filters, with nothing to run on your own server.

Search dropdown on the demo store: typing “ethiopia” shows matching products with price and weight options, plus matching categories and brands.
Instant results as you type — products, categories and brands. Live demo with search and filters — a fictional coffee shop, nothing is real.

Create a free account, add your shop and download the plugin — connect it with one click. No card for the Free plan. A sister product from the addsynapse team.

Default search vs Search & Filter

Better than the default WooCommerce search

The default search runs on your own database and expects shoppers to spell product names exactly. AddSynapse Search & Filter adds what a shop’s search needs:

  1. Typos and partial words still find the product.
  2. Results appear as the shopper types, with images and prices.
  3. Search by SKU, barcode and attributes — not only by title.
  4. AJAX filters with live counts, without reloading the page.
  5. Greek word forms and greeklish ↔ Greek, built in.
  6. Indexing and search run on our servers, not on your hosting.

    Install and activate

Only main products count towards the product limit — variations (e.g. colours and sizes) don’t. Index records are the entries in your search index: one per product, plus one per variation when exact variation search is on.

Searches per month are fair use. If a shop goes over its plan’s number, we only send an email — search is never slowed down or cut off.

Prices exclude VAT. Prices and plan limits may change; changes never apply to an already-paid period and are announced in advance.

Private by design

  • Only your public catalogue is indexed — never customer or order data.
  • Search history stays in the visitor’s browser and is never uploaded.
  • Every shop has its own isolated search index.
  • No “Powered by” link on your storefront.

Questions

Do I need to change my theme?

No, in most cases. The search field is detected and taken over automatically, whatever your theme or page builder. If needed, you can set a CSS selector in the settings.

What data leaves my store?

Only your public catalogue — title, categories, brand, price, SKU, attributes, stock status and images. Never customer or order data. Anonymous search statistics are sent only if you turn them on.

Is the free plan a trial?

No. It is free forever for up to 150 products (3,000 index records), with no time limit and no card, and includes fair use of 50,000 searches a month. Nothing switches itself off.

Do variations count as products?

No. Only main products count towards your plan’s limit — the variations of a product (e.g. colours and sizes) don’t.

What happens when my catalogue grows past the limit?

Indexing pauses at the limit and search keeps working normally for everything already indexed. Upgrade to Pro (up to 10,000 products) or Business (up to 20,000 products) to index the rest; above 20,000 products, contact us.

What happens if my shop goes past fair use?

Each plan includes a monthly number of searches: 50,000 on Free, 500,000 on Pro and 1,000,000 on Business. It protects the service; it is not a meter for normal shops. If your shop goes over it, we only send you an email — search is never slowed down or cut off.

What is an index record?

An entry in your search index: one per product, plus one per variation when exact variation search is on. Free includes 3,000, Pro 100,000 and Business 200,000.

Can prices change?

Prices exclude VAT. Prices and plan limits may change; changes never apply to an already-paid period and are announced in advance.

Is it better than the default WooCommerce search?

For most shops, yes. The default search runs on your own database and needs the exact spelling. AddSynapse Search & Filter adds typo tolerance, results as you type, search by SKU, barcode and attributes, AJAX filters with live counts and Greek word forms and greeklish — and it runs on our servers. For a very small catalogue with simple names the default search may be enough; try your own searches on the demo store.

Is it an alternative to FiboSearch or Doofinder?

It covers the same need — live AJAX product search for WooCommerce — and both are established products. What sets AddSynapse Search & Filter apart: it is hosted (indexing and search run on our servers), it includes AJAX product filters, it understands Greek word forms and greeklish, and it is free up to 150 products. Compare it with your own searches on the demo store.

Does it work with my theme, Elementor or WPBakery?

Yes. It attaches to your theme’s search field and search icon automatically, and it works with Elementor and WPBakery. Block themes get a search block and a filter block, classic themes get widgets, and there are shortcodes. Div-based product grids such as Woodmart or Flatsome are supported too.

Can shoppers search by SKU or attributes?

Yes. Search covers SKU, barcode and attributes such as colour and size, as well as titles, categories, brands and descriptions. With exact variation search on, every variation is indexed on its own.

Which languages does it support?

It works in any language, English included: typo tolerance, partial words, synonyms and attribute search work with any catalogue language, and phrases like “I’m looking for…” are handled in English, Greek and 15 other European languages. On top of that it understands Greek word forms and greeklish ↔ Greek — those two are currently Greek only.
