CS-Cart "Live search" add-on

What the Live Search Add-on Does

Not just searches products but pushes the customer to purchase.

• An animation in the search bar motivates to enter a search query.

• When you enter a search query, the Suggestions with possible search queries are shown.

• The Featured products section in the search results increases the chance to sell them.

• The Add to cart / Add to comparison list / Add to wish list buttons right in the search results reduce the number of steps to the purchase.

• For products with options, instead of adding to the cart, a preview window opens to select options.

Makes the search results more relevant to the clients request:

• Can search by all textual data about a product (Name, Short description, Full description, Meta keywords, Options, Features, Languages, Search words, Stop words, Product code, Meta description, Price, Time of creation, Status, Popularity , Product code for combinations of options, Vendor name).

• Searches by words or phrases.

• Suggests corrected spelling of the search request if no products found, and there are no search phrases set for the query.

• 6 variants for sorting products in the search results (by date of creation, popularity, priority fields, price Low to High, price High to Low, product name A-Z).

• Stop words for products to exclude product from search.

• Setting priorities for search results allows you to flexibly customize how search results are displayed.

Makes the life of the administrator easier

• Automatically caches changes when you create / update / delete products.

• Records search history for analysis and work on bugs.

• Can automatically generate search suggestions from the search history;

• Import / export stop words in CSV format.

• Separate page and CRON script for generating the Live Search cache on a schedule.

• Access restrictions for user groups to view and manage Live search.

Saves your server resources

• You can set a Search delay - giving your client time to type in a search phrase.

• Uses Ajax technology (sends only one request after the buyer completes entering the search phrase).

Increases search speed

• Use of the Cache.

• Index the product data (for the stores with a large product database only).

• The search request is sent automatically when the buyer completes the search phrase.

• You can disable search by full and short descriptions to speed up the search.

Fits your website design.

• Choose elements to include in the search results: product images, product code, new and old price, taxes, categories, brands, suggestions, featured products.

• Set colors for the elements so that they do not stand out from the design of your site.
